F-Secure Internet Security 2008 Introduces Improved Well-Being for PC’s

Today, networked living presents PC and smartphone users with incredible opportunities for creativity, social interaction, entertainment, information access, and management of personal memories and conducting business. Users increasingly wish to take full advantage of these opportunities, without needing to worry about viruses, network attacks or other malicious phenomena lurking around the Internet.

In its continued efforts to enable Internet users to take full advantage of the opportunities for their networked lives as easily and safely as possible, F-Secure has introduced F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution.

The new solution keeps the PC healthy and free from malicious applications with the help of a number of well-integrated and intelligent security features. 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 product includes a unique proactive protection technology, F-Secure DeepGuard, which apparently 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.

“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.

F-Secure Internet Security 2008 is available through the F-Secure online store and to resellers and retailers as of today.

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.
