In today’s day and age, networking takes place in many forms on the Internet through the use of PCs and Smartphones. Activities such as social interaction, entertainment information access, management of personal memories and conducting businesses are the various ways the Internet is used for.

But, with the amount of viruses, network attacks and malicious phenomena lurking around the Internet, users are afraid to go any further due to security issues.

By using F-Secure’s new Internet Security 2008 solution consumers and small businesses will be provided with an improved level of security, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of global networks without any worries.

What’s more; the new F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution keeps the PC healthy and free from malicious applications due to a number of well-integrated an intelligent security features.

In fact, the F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution has been design such that minimal user-interaction is required. It also removed the need to separately maintain and update several separate security programs.

The F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution also includes a 12-month subscription to a fully automated continuous update service directly from the F-Secure Security Labs. Since the speed and reliability of this update service is thoroughly proven, it ensures that the user’s PC remains immune to new as well as evolving threats that continuously target computers that do not have access to the latest security updates.

Moreover, F-Secure’s Internet Security 2008 solution includes a unique proactive protection technology called F-Secure DeepGuard. This technology provides a very effective additional line of defense during those crucial first hours when no signature identification is available to protect the system against new and unknown threats. DeepGuard in effect reduces the response time to zero.

The new Internet Security 2008 solution also uses less computer resources than ever before, improving the overall performance of the system. This results in an improved user experience, allowing users to focus more on the important activities in their networked lives.

Then, there’s the improved anti-phishing feature that protects computers from fake web sites (fake bank web sites) designed to fool users to disclose their private information. This improved feature included better detection of emails that pretend to be from financial or other trustworthy institutions.

According to Ari Alakiuttu, Vice President of Products and Services at F-Secure Corporation, “Security is no longer defined in terms of fear, but the new measure is enablement and opportunity. Our task is to enable our customers to soar with the possibilities of the Net, leaving their security worries to be handled by our professional service.”

F-Secure Internet Security 2008 provides protection for up to three PCs in the same household. This solution also supports Windows Vista and even has a localized user interface and electronic user manual available in 25 different languages.

Interestingly, the F-Secure Internet Security 2008 solution also helps users to take care of the well-being of their smartphones by including a free trial version of the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus solution for Symbian and Windows Mobile smartphones.
