Major Italian connectivity supplier Infinito.it, and leader in antivirus and Internet security solutions, F-Secure today announced the Italian launch of a comprehensive PC security suite called Sicurito.

Sicurito, which stands for Security Internet Infinito, provides a robust defense against Internet threats. Specifically, Sicurito software includes the following functionality: Antivirus, which identifies, isolates and eliminates possible viruses as soon as they appear, Firewall, which promptly blocks unauthorized access attempts to the pc when navigating the Internet, Antispam, which automatically removes unwanted junk email messages from the Inbox folder, Parental control, which protects younger Internet users from dangerous or inappropriate content by blocking access and Antidialer, which prevents malicious code present on a PC from changing the Internet connection and changing the number.

Speaking about Sicurito, Manuel Orozco, President of Internet & Wireless Services, Alter Ego Communication S.p.A. said: "Following the dialogue with our customers we noticed that Internet Security was a hot topic," adding:
"Infinito.it therefore started looking for a partner among leading companies in the Internet security field to create a high quality product. F-Secure was a perfect fit in terms of quality and total security, for its strong competence and professionalism and because F-Secure works side by side with major international Internet Service Providers. With F-Secure, Infinito.it has the opportunity to deliver a high value product at the same time personalizing the offer in a comprehensive way."

Kalle Korpi, Vice President, Service Provider Business at F-Secure continued:
"This partnership is part of our Security as a Service Solution. We are convinced that this approach represents a key response to the growing amount of users that are looking for protection without having to deal with technical details," adding: "Security services offered to Internet users are increasingly common, which confirms that people prefer to pay a subscription rather than purchase a software license thus reinforcing the primary role for a company like Infiinito to supply such solutions."

Sicurito will be available in three different versions: Sicurito AV with antivirus and antidialer function, Sicurito Pro plus firewall and Sicurito Premium which offers the comprehensive suite.

Users can, at any time, upgrade their solution. Sicurito can be directly downloaded from Infinito.it for a free 30-day evaluation.
