Antivirus Protection
Protection for email. The Shield Deluxe 2008 scans email traffic for viruses according to the protocol via which it is sent (POP3, IMAP and NNTP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail) on any mail program, while plug-ins and treatment for viruses in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express mail databases are offered.

Scanning of Internet traffic. All HTTP Internet traffic is scanned for viruses in real-time, ensuring that infected objects are not saved to the computer’s hard disk.

Protection for file systems. Individual files, catalogues and disks can be designated for antivirus scanning. Users can limit antivirus scanning to critical areas of the operating system and startup objects to ensure that attention is focused on the most vulnerable areas of the system.

Proactive Protection
Control over changes in the file system. With The Shield Deluxe 2008 it is possible to compile lists of applications, the component structure of which will be controlled, thus helping to prevent malicious programs from undermining the integrity of the application.

Monitors processes in the memory. The Shield Deluxe monitors the activity of programs and processes that have been launched in the computer’s memory and, at the same time, warns users of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden processes (that is, rootkits), and of unauthorized changes in routine processes.

Monitors changes in the operating system registry. The Shield Deluxe controls the status of the system registry and notifies users of any suspicious objects or attempts to create hidden keys in the registry.

Blocks dangerous macros. Proactive protection affords control over the operation of macros based on Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office documents and blocks dangerous macro-commands from being executed.

System restore. The system can be restored after malicious activity. The Shield Deluxe 2008 can roll back any changes made to the system by malicious programs. Fast operating speeds
Technology for accelerated antivirus scanning. iSwift and iChecker technology make it possible to limit scanning to new and modified files, or to limit scanning to potentially dangerous objects only. Antivirus scanning can be suspended during times of increased user activity to ensure that your computer’s resources are free for your use.

Reduced update sizes. The size of updates downloaded to users’ PC has been reduced almost 10 times (now amounting to several tens of kilobytes) in The Shield Deluxe 2008, making our updates virtually instant.

F-Secure Client Security 2007
New viruses lurking undetected at the heart of your networks can hijack your computers, steal your valuable information and disable your protection. Normal antivirus programs are blind to these threats.

F-Secure Client Security 7 focuses beneath the surface to tackle the hidden intruders: Rapid, proactive, always-on protection against both traditional and new, previously unknown threats keeps your networks safe - even before virus databases have been updated. Incoming threats are recognized and blocked faster than traditional antivirus software, thanks to new technologies such as Deepguard, a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) that enables smarter and more accurate analysis of any unknown malware it encounters.

Comprehensive combined protection for your organization, laptops and desktops against viruses, hackers, spyware and rootkits is included in one centrally-managed, easy-to-use package. Includes Deepguard, a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) - keeps your networks safe before virus databases have been updated.

ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE INDUSTRY

Security Shield 2008 - powered by F-Secure Antivirus has a proven track record of reacting faster to new threats and staying one step ahead of the industry in developing protection against new malware.

Average response times for 12 major outbreaks in January - May 2006

F-Secure's average response time is 2-4 hours.

WHY SPEED MATTERS

Response delays of a few hours have a significant impact on the amount of damage a virus outbreak can cause in an organization. This is because the amount of infected messages or machines in major virus outbreaks typically follows a roughly exponential curve.

COMBINING PROACTIVE AND REACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

All antivirus products provide protection against old viruses and threats. The difference comes in how well they react to new, unknown threats. Antivirus products are typically based on two technologies – proactive techniques, such as heuristics and sandboxing, and reactive signature based techniques. An antivirus product can either use only one or combine both technologies as is the case with Security Shield 2008 - powered by F-Secure Antivirus.

Proactive technologies are, however, not able to catch one hundred percent of viruses and they can also generate a high number of false positives leading to potential productivity losses. Criminals also commonly test their malware against these proactive solutions in order to find vulnerabilities. Thus, proactive technologies can never fully replace reactive signature-based solutions and that is why speed of response is crucial in virus protection. F-Secure’s renowned ability to respond to diverse, unpredictable threats as they appear makes F-Secure products and services your most reliable choice.

24/7 RESEARCH

Antivirus products are only as good as the research and dedication behind them. The F-Secure Data Security Lab, staffed with globally recognized virus experts, is on call 24-hours a day, responding to new and emerging threats. F-Secure’s record fast, automatic updates ensure that the best available protection is always at your disposal.

* AV-Test.org, an independent antivirus testing lab, provides response time testing during virus outbreaks in addition to their detection testing for a wide range of antivirus products. AV-Test.org testing and results are used in major publications and IT security magazines worldwide such as PC-World, PC-WELT, Virus Bulletin, ComputerBild, CHIP and c't. (www.av-test.org)
