San Francisco, California, June 20, 2008 - Navastream.com a leading Security E-Commerce site of total data protection solutions for the small-medium business (SMB) marketplace and enterprises globally, officially announced a strategic shift in product lines and business model by shifting to Internet only sales of the Steganos Security Suite.
Navastream.com will officially launch the Steganos Internet Security 2008 and Steganos AntiVirus 2008, the latest generations of its software for complete protection from online Threats on July 1, 2008
Steganos is a leader in providing security and privacy software for consumers and SMBs. The company has two million users worldwide that rely on Steganos to protect their most sensitive data. The recently launched Steganos Privacy Suite 2008 is the latest version of their encryption suite which brings together nine powerful tools in a single intuitive user interface to ensure that private data stays private.
Steganos Internet Security 2008 offers comprehensive, fast and value-for-money protection against spam, spyware, hackers and computer viruses. The integrated AntiSpyware application recognises spyware and adware. Potentially unwanted programs, adware, trojans, worms and keyloggers are all detected using the latest analysis techniques. The integrated firewall controls the network connections and blocks attacks from hackers or trojans. Steganos Internet Security 2008 also includes Steganos AntiVirus 2008.
Steganos AntiVirus 2008, available separately as well as forming part of the Steganos Internet Security 2008 suite, protects the computer from script, macro, file and boot sector viruses in real time. It offers several layers of protection: • The resident protection deactivates viruses by supervising the copying, opening and storage of files. As soon as a virus is discovered, Steganos AntiVirus 2008 stops the current process and stops the virus from activating. • The automatic virus removal eliminates or disinfects virus-infected files and other threats such as trojans or worms. • The email scanner examines incoming and outgoing emails and is compatible with all SMTP/POP3 based email clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora. The email scanner is compatible with encrypted connections that use SSL. • The automatic spam and phishing filter keeps the inbox clean by ensuring that such emails are marked as spam. • Individual and scheduled virus tests enable additional user-defined scanning alongside the automatic checks. Steganos’s technology uses a combination of virus scan, heuristic matching and generic detection to ensure that no virus goes undiscovered. Suspicious files are quarantined to prevent an infection and the virus data bank is regularly updated to ensure that the software can always detect the latest threats.
There are two user modes: the basic mode offers maximum protection for minimal work
and the professional mode provides maximum flexibility for more advanced users who
would like to configure as much as they can themselves. The intelligent scan function in
Steganos AntiVirus 2008 can be used to determine which data should be permitted or
blocked, so that users can compile their own black list and white list.
Both Steganos AntiVirus 2008 and Steganos Internet Security 2008 include a year of automatic updates to ensure that the software is always up to date. If a new version of the software is released within that year, users can update to the next version of the software for free.
Aston Fallen, CEO, Steganos, said: “A world without the internet and email would be
unthinkable today. But the price we pay for near-instant communication and constant
connectivity is the onslaught of viruses, hackers, spam and phishing attacks. We’ve seen
a change in recent years. Whereas early viruses were a nuisance that slowed the PC or
broke the operating system, today’s viruses are much more likely to attempt to steal e-
commerce or shopping data. There is a criminal motive now, which means nobody can
afford to be complacent. With the latest releases of Steganos AntiVirus and Steganos
Internet Security, we are providing the peace of mind that people need to safely exploit
the full potential of the internet.”
