TrustPort rolls out new versions of its antivirus solutions
November 2009 by Marc Jacob
Security products TrustPort Antivirus 2010 and
TrustPort PC Security 2010 have been released for sale. Both products are
based on an advanced antivirus technology, which has reached, according to
the October Virus Bulletin comparative test, the best reactive and proactive
detection of malware in the world. The new versions bring improvements both
in function and in control.
TrustPort Antivirus 2010 and TrustPort PC Security 2010 are aimed mainly at
home and small office users. While the first product focuses on protecting
the computer against malware of all kinds, at all entry points of the
computer, the second product throws in a personal firewall and securing of
private data through encryption and shredding.
For corporate clients, TrustPort Antivirus Business 2010 and TrustPort PC
Security Business 2010 are available. Their design and functionality derive
from the home versions; however, they offer central administration and mass
deployment of the software in corporate networks. Furthermore, they can be
purchased not only with two but also with four scanning engines, which
brings virus detection closer to the magical hundred percent limit.
In all of these products, AVG and BitDefender scanning engines were
implemented as a default combination. Virus detection rate has thus
increased, while the false alarm rate has decreased.
In contrast with previous versions, automated installation of software
updates has been added, without the need of manual user intervention. This
change is about functional updates, not about automated virus updates, which
have been commonplace for a long time.
Mail protection also underwent improvement. Software now includes plugins
for all commonly used mail clients, namely Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, Windows Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird, and allows a more effective
disposal of unsolicited and infected mail. A protection of antivirus system
files was implemented, to prevent malware attempts to disable normal
function of the antivirus.
TrustPort Antivirus 2010 and TrustPort PC Security 2010 are compatible with
all current Windows platforms, both 32-bit and 64-bit. The software runs on
Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000. It is available in five language versions - Czech, English, German, Italian, and Spanish. The user can choose the language during installation but it can be changed anytime later, too.
