Protegent
Provides endpoint Security, Privacy & Backup, antivirus, and data protection for organizations.
A low-cost Indian Windows antivirus with a useful built-in data-recovery twist, best suited for price-sensitive home and SMB buyers in emerging markets.
Protegent — Windows antivirus suite by Indian vendor Unistal Systems, with built-in data recovery.
Protegent is a budget-oriented Windows security suite from Unistal Systems (India), covering antivirus, ransomware defense, USB threat blocking, and a distinctive built-in data-recovery module. The DB lists it as 'Freemium' with no entry price, but a 30-day free trial leads to paid plans starting around ₹985/user/year (~$12). It targets both home users and SMBs, though its footprint is heaviest in the Indian market. Not to be confused with enterprise endpoint suites — this is a consumer-leaning Windows AV with light business licensing.
Punches above its price in emerging markets — the bundled data-recovery feature alone justifies the low annual cost for users who skip a dedicated backup solution. Cloud DNA scanning keeps definitions current without heavy local resource use.
Independent AV lab test coverage is thin compared to Norton, Bitdefender, or Kaspersky; UI feels dated; support quality is inconsistent outside India; ecosystem integrations are minimal.
