IObit Security 360 Beta June 10, 2009

Hey guys,

Recently, the well established and well known company, IObit, has released a new app that goes along nicely with their already excellent set of FREE software. Their acclaimed Advanced System Care Free is an excellent choice in PC maintenance as well as their Defrag software and lets see if their latest App can live up to the rest.

IObit Security 360 BETA was released out on 9th June to the general public. This is supposedly IObit’s effort to allow PC users to eliminate malware in general from their PC’s.

Here’s what IObit has to say:

IObit Security 360 is an advanced malware & spyware removal utility that detects, removes and protects your PC from various of potential spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, bots, worms, and hijackers. With the unique “Dual-Core” engine and the heuristic malware detection, IObit Security 360 detects the most complex and deepest spyware and malware in a very fast and efficient way. IObit Security 360 has a real-time malware protection and frequent automatic updating for prevention of zero-day security threats. IObit Security 360 can work with your Antivirus for a superior PC security.

IObit also likes to show the key features of IObit Security 360 in this list of ‘Key Features and Benefits’:

Complete PC Security Care

Antimalware, antispyware, anti-adware, anti-Trojan, anti-bots, and more. There will be no antivirus and firewall functions in this version, but we can help your Antivirus defend any tricky and complex threat.

Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware. You may become a victim of misleading advertising, if you buy such a product under those premises.

1-click Solution and Very Easy to Use

Traditional Advantages of IObit. We love simple and automatic style.

Very Fast and Light

Thanks to the unique “Dual-Core” anti-malware engine, complicated analysis can be made faster now.

Finds the Deepest Infections

We use DOG (Digital Original Gene), a novel heuristic malware detection method, to find the most complex threats.

Automatic and Frequent Updates

IObit Security 360 Team is ready now.

Work with All Antivirus Products

Everyone needs a qualified antivirus software, And IObit Security 360 will surely be the best mate for your current Antivirus.

Free for Home/Non-commercial Use

Scan & Remove is free, and real-time protection is free too. You will love this small but powerful free anti-malware.

Due to it being fairly new in the market, so to speak, there hasn’t been any extensive testing of the software to see just how effective it is. However, trusting IObit is something I have done for a long time now and I doubt they’ll disappoint this time.

Just remember that this is still BETA software so there may be some bugs and some features that are not yet fully functional.

So, if you are willing to add another anti-spyware to your PC security I find no harm in installing this app!

The Best Windows Antivirus – 2008 Editions March 16, 2008

So its been a while since i last posted, but there were adequate reasons for this.

Anyways, what better way to jump back in than talking about the latest and greatest Computer Security Solutions.
This was brought to my attention by www.KezNews.com .

The following are what the renowned www.av-test.org has deemed to be the best Security Software(s) out there in 2008 -so far anyway.

“The rankings with the best Windows antivirus for this year, considering just the 2008 editions that were tested by AV-Test, and in terms of malware, adware and spyware detection, have WebWasher-GW (with detection rates for malware of 99.85% and for adware and spyware of 99.86%), AVK (G Data) (99.91% – 99.85%), TrustPort (99.63% – 99.82%)and AntiVir (Avira) (99.32% – 99.15%)in the first four positions.

The list continues with the remaining antivirus tested out of the total 30 security solutions. The detection rates for malware, as well as adware and spyware are for Trend Micro 98.72% – 95.14%; Sophos 98.10% – 98.83%; Nod32 (Eset) 97.85% – 96.33%; Microsoft 97.79% – 91.50%; BitDefender 97.77% – 98.77%; Kaspersky 97.17% – 92.02%; Norton (Symantec) 95.70% – 98.62%; Panda 95.62% – 95.57%; McAfee 95.58% – 98.56% etc.”

So there we have it – the top security solutions for you. All these are pretty much software solutions that need to be paid for, but there are quite a few free ones which you may decide to choose.
