Jan 2, 2006

F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6 won prestigious InfoWorld Best Anti-Spyware Solution –award in their annual Technology of the Year Awards. The award is the latest addition to the long list of good reviews the product has received in European and US magazines.

"InfoWorld's Technology of the Year awards recognize the best solutions in the most important technology categories," said Doug Dineley, executive editor of the InfoWorld Test Center. "F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security delivered the strongest real-time protection against spyware of all the solutions we tested. We couldn't sneak anything past it."

In addition to viruses, spyware has rapidly raised to be one of the biggest threats for companies. For the past couple of years traditional antivirus alone has not been enough to protect against fast-spreading threats. F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security 6.0 was the first solutions on the market that integrated spyware protection seamlessly with antivirus, desktop firewall and intrusion protection in a way that works well in practise. Thanks to a dedicated antispyware engine the solution protects against spyware in real-time while keeping the deployment and management as easy as with plain antivirus solutions but offering more insight for network administrators on spyware protection.
