BANGALORE, INDIA: F-Secure Corporation has introduced F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution.

The solution with improved level of security enables consumers and small businesses to securely connect to global networks. The new solution keeps PC healthy and free from malicious applications with the help intelligent security features.

The solution is specifically designed to require minimal user interaction, and removes the need to separately maintain and update several separate security programs.

The solution includes a 12-month subscription to a fully automated and continuous update service from the F-Secure Security Labs. The  update service ensures a user’s PC stays immune to new and evolving threats that continuously target computers that do not have the latest security updates.

Moreover, the product includes a unique proactive protection technology, F-Secure DeepGuard, which provides a very effective additional line of defense during those crucial first hours when no signature identification is yet available to protect against new unknown threats. DeepGuard in effect reduces the response time to zero.

The new solution also uses less computer resources than before, thus improving the overall performance of the system. This translates into improved user experience, enabling users to focus more intensively on the important activities in their networked lives.

It also features improved parental controls with new categories of controlled Web content and a safe Internet list (so-called whitelist of Web sites). To better protect against fake Web sites designed to fool Web users to disclose their private information, such as fake bank sites, the anti-phishing feature has been improved, including better detection of emails that pretend to be from financial or other trustworthy institutions.

“Security is no longer defined in terms of fear, but the new measure is enablement and opportunity. Our task is to enable our customers to soar with the possibilities of the Net, leaving their security worries to be handled by our professional service” says Ari Alakiuttu, Vice President of Products and Services at F-Secure Corporation.

The solution provides protection for up to three PC’s in the same household, supports Windows Vista, and has a localized user interface and electronic user manual in 25 different languages. The solution also helps users take care of the well-being of their most personal computer - the smartphone - by including a free trial version of the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus solution for Symbian and Windows Mobile smartphones.
