Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 6.5.5

Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 6.5.5 is considered as a professional and useful Internet security solution that proactively protects SOHO users against a broad range of current and future threats ranging from malware to hackers to identity compromise. The program features an award-winning firewall, fast and reliable anti-malware, a unique Host Protection module, web and transaction security tools, and a self-learning anti-spam engine for complete protection on the Internet. At the heart of the Suite, the industry-leading bidirectional firewall guards users' network access, keeping them safe from inappropriate or malicious connections, internal or external breaches, unsafe URLs and the risk of loss of private data.

The powerful and efficient anti-malware scanner that incorporates dedicated antivirus and anti-spyware engines will defend users against any possible type of infection: viruses, worms, spyware, keyloggers. The unique SmartScan 2 technology makes repeated scans complete much faster. The Host Protection module takes a new approach to combating malware: it pre-empts the infection by examining the behavior of a monitored object, proactively blocking it from performing any unauthorized activity. This type of defense-in-advance helps to halt unknown malware before it can activate its destructive payload and renders traditional signature scanners largely unnecessary. To keep the inbox clean of junk email, the Suite's multi-client anti-spam component will learn and memorize what users define as spam and apply this knowledge to categorize future email, addressing the problem of spam on a personal level. Special tamper-proof technologies that safeguard the integrity of Outpost components ensure the security cannot be deactivated by targeted attacks.
