Thanks to the introduction in the Softline Store of the development of SoundWeb - a non-synonymous anti-virus KATANA, customers of the online store are now able to build layered anti-virus protection within one computer. We came up with the idea of ​ ​ releasing a product that implements the company's main developments in the field of non-synonymous malware detection, when a huge number of users of other antiviruses from around the world turned to the technical support of SoundWeb with a request to help them recover data encrypted by Trojan cryptographers. In 2014-2015, this was the main computer threat to both private business and government organizations almost around the world. Seeing that we are approached in the vast majority of users of other antivirus solutions, we thought that it would be right to allow these people to get additional protection that uses the achievements of our antivirus laboratory. All these technologies were implemented in our main products for Windows, so we decided to develop a "light" antivirus that would contain only preventive protection, which does not require the presence of antivirus databases, file monitor, antivirus scanner.

The development of the product itself did not take a long time, it was also important to check its compatibility with a large number of products of other companies. When we made sure that this task was solved, we announced the release of the SoundWeb KATANA.

It is important to note that our product must be used in tandem with another signature antivirus. Then you can be sure that he will take on his tasks at the right time,}}
