Agnitum Launches Feature-Packed Anti-virus Protection
Leading security vendor offers new flat-fee annual subscription
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, March 18, 2008: The security experts at Agnitum, the leading firewall provider, today announced the availability of Outpost Antivirus Pro, offering an extended security arsenal to protect users against malware infection, identity theft, and websites that may be hosting malicious content. In a new twist, the company is offering Outpost Antivirus Pro at a flat annual subscription fee rather than the license-plus-annual renewals model that has become the industry standard.
What's included in Outpost Antivirus Pro?
Fast virus scans
Thanks to the SmartScan technology that stores details of previous checks, repeat malware scans happen at lightning speed.
Two-in-one protection
Outpost Antivirus Pro protects against most types of malware in a single engine, backed by two independent, complementary antivirus labs working together to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date threat coverage. Expertise in viruses, Trojans and other infective malware comes from Agnitum's VB100-certified partner Virus Buster, while the spyware, worm, adware and other snoop-ware intelligence is provided by Agnitum's in-house team.
Additional 'bonus' functionality that does not require regular signature updates (but program updates are provided within the subscription fee):
Secure digital safe for the storage of confidential information
With Outpost's ID Block, credit card information, account passwords, and other critical data are put into a special "lockdown mode", preventing unintentional or deliberate disclosure. Users can define a list of sites that they trust to access some or all of this information.
Host protection to stop zero-day viruses
The advanced Host Protection module protects users against new and unknown viruses. By preemptively blocking the kind of inappropriate program activity that might indicate an attack, Outpost stops the threat before it can cause damage without the need to wait for signature updates.
URL blacklist to block malicious Internet sites
The constantly-updated URL blacklist automatically protects users as they explore the Web. It steers them away from suspicious websites that may be infected with drive-by downloads and locations hosting exploits or other malicious or offensive content, and prevents access to known phishing sites.
Best-in-class self-protection to prevent unauthorized program termination
Outpost Antivirus cannot be deactivated by targeted attacks, a common route viruses take to disable active security protection.
The basic license for Outpost Antivirus Pro covers installation on up to three computers and costs 19.95 per year; a Family License for use on up to five PCs costs 34.95 per year.
