Outpost Security Suite Pro defends desktops, notebooks against malware, spam, identity theft, and other Internet threats

St. Petersburg, Russia -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/18/2007 -- The security experts at Agnitum today delivered battle-hardened protection against malware, spam, identity theft and other Internet-borne threats to home and small-business Windows users.

Available now, Outpost Security Suite Pro (OSS) is comprehensive, proactive security that combines in a single product the company's acclaimed personal firewall, an innovative all-in-one anti-malware engine, intelligent spam filter, tools to prevent unauthorized program interactivity, and self-protection protocols that block attempts by malware to bypass or shut down the program.

"OSS provides the robust security that users expect from Agnitum," said Mikhail Penkovsky, global vice-president for Marketing and Sales. "This is not just another security suite. Our broad-based proactive protection, built around one of the world's most advanced personal firewalls, delivers efficient, low-impact protection for all users, no matter what their level of experience."

The suite builds on Agnitum's Outpost Firewall Pro, an award-winning personal firewall that protects more than a million users worldwide and, according to PC Magazine (27 Nov. 2006), "is tough enough to resist any attack."

Over the years, Outpost Firewall Pro has added anti-spyware, identity theft protection and leak prevention, as well as the innovative community-based ImproveNet service, which provides users with tested and ready-to-use configuration rules that reflect real-world application installations.

With OSS, Agnitum introduces a unified anti-malware engine and SmartScan technologies, which speed the scanning of NTFS and FAT32 for malware by tracking new files and files that are modified, enabling users to scan just these changed or new files, not the entire system. Agnitum engineers integrated the unified anti-malware engine into OSS leveraging anti-virus technology licensed from VirusBuster, a Hungarian anti-virus developer that consistently achieves 100 percent certifications from Virus Bulletin.

Key benefits of this integrated, proactive approach to security include:

- Pre-emptive protection. Prevention is always more efficient than after-the-attack cures. Outpost's inter-application behavior monitoring maximizes the likelihood that malware and other threats will be stopped before they can get onto the PC and activate. The unique host protection detects and stops unauthorized activity, preventing new attacks and blocking threats at the earliest possible stage.

- Unified anti-malware. Instead of overloading the system with multiple scanning engines, Outpost's anti-malware module combines anti-spyware and anti-virus in the same process to deliver low-impact, high-speed, easy-to-use scanning.

- Self-protection. Outpost Security Suite Pro detects if any application is attempting to interfere with its own operations. This prevents protection from being deactivated or otherwise disabled by malware.

- Usability. Robust security doesn't need to mean complexity of operation. Outpost's flexible interface offers a wealth of options for advanced users to configure, but the out-of-the-box settings provide high levels of automated protection for a range of users, no matter how technically proficient.

Outpost Security Suite Pro is available immediately worldwide for US$ 49.95, including updates for one year, by download from http://www.agnitum.com/products/security-suite/download.php and through the company's global network of resellers and distributors. A full list of resellers may be found at http://www.agnitum.com/purchase/buyoffline.php. The software runs under Windows XP, x64, 2000, 98 and ME and is available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.

San Jose, CA., and St. Petersburg, Russia -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/12/2007 -- The computer security experts at Agnitum Ltd. today unleashed Spam Terrier, which protects users of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express from spam.

The software is free.

"Are you sick and tired of email offers for generic sex drugs and replica watches, profile updates from 'Paypal' and security and unpaid item reminders from "eBay" that demand your passwords, Nigerian bank scams, the millions of dollars liberated from Iraq by "men who prefer privacy" – and the fortune you won in yet another lottery, even though you have absolutely no recollection of ever traveling to Spamistan to buy a ticket?

"Spam Terrier is your new best friend," said Mikhail Penkovsky, global vice-president for Marketing and Sales at Agnitum. "Research indicates that 90 percent of all email is junk you don't need or want. Don't just accept this as an unfortunate fact of life. Spam is dangerous. Spam wastes your time. Spam invades your life and your privacy. Spam infects your computer with Spyware and Trojans that steal your identity.

Spam Terrier's pedigree traces back to the team that develops Outpost Firewall Pro (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/index.php), award-winning software that provides home, small office and mobile users with powerful protection against Spyware, keyloggers, Trojans, hackers, identity theft, wireless network hijacking and other security threats. Agnitum also licenses its firewall (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/index.php) technologies globally to Novell, Sophos, Lavasoft, Bullguard and CAT, among others.

Who says anti-spam software has to be difficult to use and complex? Spam Terrier features a friendly, easy-to-user interface with convenient, intuitive controls. With built-in heuristics-based anti-spam tools, it collars junk email by training itself. As a user selects what he or she considers spam, Spam Terrier "learns" to identify behavior patterns of spam, instead of relying on users to block specific keywords and phrases.

The more you train Spam Terrier, the better its nose gets for inappropriate email. It remembers "spam scores" that classify a message as "not spam," "probable spam" or "definite spam." Accuracy increases over time.

"Spam Terrier is a smart assistant that bites into unwanted correspondence," said Penkovsky. "It saves you time and inbox space. It defends against malicious and fraudulent messages, identifies messages from friends and peers, and defines white and black lists."

The software supports multiple email accounts in both Outlook and Outlook Express. It is available in English, German, Spanish, French and Russian.
