The anti-virus developed by Bunifu Technologies has an in-built console panel which will help the users recover infected files safely. Upon release, the solution is to be sold at Kshs 3,000.
The Snipper anti-virus which took the group over a year and a half to develop also features a wireless and LAN scanner that can scan devices within your Wi-Fi range or over your local Area Network (LAN), a document, file and folder repair and restore, file and folder unlock sensor, wireless and LAN sensor as well as piracy protection.
According to Keith Korir, founder, Bunifu Technologies, the product is the first to be developed in Kenya and is better than others available in the Market.
