Immunet was a free, cloud-based, community-driven antivirus application, using the ClamAV and its own engine. The software was complementary with existing antivirus software. In January 2011 Immunet was acquired by Sourcefire. The application was free-of-charge, although a commercial version is available. It claimed to be lightweight and provided up-to-date protection against the threats. Virus signature files were stored in the cloud, not on individual computers, so signature downloads were not required. Once a virus was detected and blocked for one user, all other Immunet users received the same protection almost instantly. The software was noted for its ability to allow individual users to easily author their own signatures. Immunet ceased services on January 1, 2024.
