• Self-protection to prevent unauthorized termination of your security

Benefits of Outpost Anti-Virus:
• Save time with faster scans
Thanks to SmartScan technology, repeat malware scans happen at lightning speed.
• Easily and effectively remove all types of malware
Now you can benefit from two independent, complementary anti-malware labs working together to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date threat coverage. Virus, trojan and other infective malware research comes from the VB100-certified Virus Buster team, and Agnitum’s research team provides the spyware, worm, adware and other snoop-ware intelligence.
• Proactive protection against zero-day viruses and other unknown threats
The advanced Host Protection module protects you against new and unknown malware. By preemptively blocking the kind of inappropriate program activity that might indicate an attack, Outpost stops the threat before it can cause damage without the need to wait for signature updates.
• Personal information can’t be stolen
Trojans and viruses attack by extracting data from a PC. With Outpost’s ID Block, your credit card information, account passwords, and other critical data are put into a special “lockdown mode”, preventing unintentional or deliberate disclosure. You can define a list of sites that you trust to access some or all of this information.
