SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, and the southern African distributor for Trend security software, today announced the availability of PC-cillin 2003, the newest version of its award-winning consumer and SOHO security suite.
PC-cillin 2003 is a comprehensive security solution for Internet users, designed to secure them from malicious attacks when using e-mail, instant messaging, or Web traffic whether they are on a dial-up, wireless or broadband network. It combines advanced virus detection and cleaning with an integrated personal firewall.
PC-cillin 2003 leverages the same anti-virus technology as Trend Micro's enterprise-class products, while keeping it easy and affordable for the home user.
In addition to our dependable pattern-based technology, Trend Micro's patented heuristic scanning technology defends users from new, unknown script-based threats based on their actions rather than how they are written. PC-cillin now comes with a Trojan/worm cleaning capability to automatically remove these threats and repair the damage they leave behind. Fast, convenient and intuitive, PC-cillin 2003 remains easy for consumers and SOHO customers to install and operate.
"We are delighted to be able to offer Trend Micro's most complete consumer security package," commented Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData. "PC-cillin 2003 delivers cutting-edge anti-virus and firewall technologies in an integrated easy-to-use solution. It's an ideal security choice for home users, students, and small businesses, or anyone using a PC, laptop or PDA."
Key benefits:
* Advance outbreak alert. PC-cillin 2003's industry-first advance warning service uses the research and knowledge of TrendLabs, Trend Micro's global network of anti-virus and support centres, to inform users of new virus outbreaks. Users can then obtain the latest virus pattern file to protect themselves before viruses get to their PC.
* Wireless Internet protection. While it's very convenient to be able to surf the Web from any location with a wireless connection, downloading files can be potentially dangerous. With PC-cillin 2003, users can boost protection and secure their PCs with a single click, stopping viruses from entering or being passed on to other users.
* Enhanced e-mail security. More than 87% of virus threats are received through e-mail. PC-cillin 2003 scans messages and attachments retrieved from POP3 mail servers and attachments from Web mail servers, offering protection from the largest source of viruses.
* Integrated personal firewall. Always-on and rapid download benefits of broadband Internet connections bring an increased threat of hacker attacks. With PC-cillin 2003, users can choose xDSL, cable, or satellite connectivity and utilise personal firewall's 'smart' technology that allows for deeper virus detecting scans of e-mail.
* Toll-free support. PC-cillin 2003 users receive toll-free technical support by phone during business hours, and by e-mail 24 hours a day.
