With everything goes online, it is a must to use computer protection software. And, Helix anti-virus is a new player on the anti-virus market. Anti-Virus Helix comes with a 30-day trial period that provides full updates of the product. Like all anti-virus pieces of software on the market should, the application starts protecting your system from the moment Windows loads and monitors all the alternate ways a nasty may take in order to gain access to your computer. This roughly translates into the fact that Helix is up for the job in the case of rootkits and prevents email virus attacks as well as online ones by constantly scanning Internet traffic.
Helix’s flexibility extends to the point where you are given the possibility to create scan profiles. The advantage of this feature consists in the fact that you get to define specific areas to be checked out by the anti-virus.
Web surfing is a paramount activity when it comes to computers and Helix is equipped with the components to keep you safe from phishing or malware floating on the Internet. More than this, the mail checking component examines incoming/outgoing mails for any type of threats that may affect the stability of the receiver’s machine.
To ensure user’s settings, Helix is equipped with password protection, which can be enabled on different areas. Thus everything from activation/deactivation of protection modules, tampering with quarantined files and even installation/uninstallation of the app can be defended by a user defined password.

Just found this post (better late than never!). Read through your post and this product peaked my interest. When went to do a quick googlee search on AV-Helix, I found this on Lavasoft’s page:
“as of June 8, 2009, we will no longer offer new sales of our stand-alone anti-virus product, Lavasoft Anti-Virus Helix.”
A lethal combo of lack of consumer interest and an over crowded anti-virus software market.
