### Commercials

Protegent 360 has several commercials. One is 3D animated, but the rest are rather poorly animated in 2D.

One of the most known commercials was released in 2016 and features a man whose computer crashes, who says that he had an antivirus. Suddenly out of thin air, Proto appears and tells him that "antivirus is not enough", and also mentions that Protegent has data recovery software. The commercial then says to "think beyond antivirus, think Protegent."

The commercial ends.

Another commercial is 2D animated and says at the start:

"Are your Students safe in School....?

Being a Teacher is not enough......

Be Responsible"

The commercial starts with some children using computers in school. One child named Rahul is looking at people kissing (which the developers of Protegent considered as inappropriate, for some reason). After the class leaves, the teacher looks at her students' browsing history. On one of the computers, however, she sees links to inappropriate content. She speaks to the headmistress, who says that this behaviour must stop. Suddenly, once again, Proto comes out of thin air, introduces himself, and tells the two teachers about Protegent, which supposedly has a feature which monitors computer activity and sends a log via email to an assigned address. The next day, Rahul again decides to look at "inappropriate" content on a computer. Proto reminds the teacher that inappropriate content is being looked at on one of the computers. The teacher comes over to Rahul and tells him off, who apologizes and says that he will never repeat his actions. Rahul says thanks to Proto for saving him from going in the wrong direction, and the teacher says thanks as well to Proto for allowing the school to gain parents' trust.

The commercial ends, with a message at the end saying: "It's Time to think beyond Antivirus"
