Quick Heal Technologies' 16.00 Series renders 'Safe Banking'

BANGALORE, INDIA: Quick Heal Technologies has launched series 16.00. This series strives to provide its users with safe banking, secure Internet Surfing, and a better PC experience.

Quick Heal 16.00 has been designed to combat the dangers of online financial transactions such as paying bills, banking and shopping. This version has brought in an essential security feature called Safe Banking that automatically takes all necessary security steps while the user is conducting a financial transaction online.

Safe Banking creates a completely safe virtual environment that protects the user’s online transactions against all kinds of threats. It also provides automatic protection against threats such as phishing, identity theft, key loggers, etc.

Sanjay Katkar, chief technology officer, Quick Heal Technologies said: “Most people are easily tricked into giving away their financial information on fraudulent websites and through fake email messages. Given how advanced today’s cybercriminals have become, it is near impossible for ordinary users, sometimes even for security analysts to tell a fake site from a real one. But with Safe Banking in place, we intend to nullify all these risks with minimum user intervention.”

The Quick Heal 16.00 series is a move against cybercrimes aimed at the financial assets of users. Its Safe Banking feature:

• Blocks fraudulent and malicious websites that steal user data
