Immunet Protect Free is a free cloud-based, community-driven antivirus solution for consumers built by Immunet. It is built to protect entire online communities against viruses in real-time. The software is complementary with existing traditional antivirus software, but also offers a community-based approach that provides additional detection features.^[1] As of 5 January 2011, Immunet has been acquired by Sourcefire Cybersecurity. ^[2]^[3]

Immunet is small, fast, free, lightweight and offers up-to-date protection against thousands of new threats daily (with 1 million plus users and over 21 million threats total and counting as of March 2011). There is no need to download virus signature files to stay protected. Updates happen automatically without slowing down a user’s PC. Once a virus is detected and blocked for a community member, all community members receive the same blanket protection immediately.
