Outpost Security Suite Free

The antivirus, the anti-spy, an antispam, fayervoll, an anti-rootkit, and the module of pro-active protection is a part of Outpost Security Suite Free. It is already available to downloading on the website of the company.

Most likely, it is a free set of protective software of similar completeness, the first in the world market. "Comodo and Lavasoft also release free complete solutions of security, but their structure is obviously incomplete in comparison with that understanding of Internet Security Suite which developed in the industry" — the commercial director of Agnitum Janko Vitaly told CNews.

At the unconditional advantage of free of charge Outpost Security Suite Free bears a number of shortcomings. Among the most noticeable — lack of the Russian-language version of a product and infrequent — 1 time a day — updating of anti-virus bases.

In addition in comparison with the professional version in a free-packet there are no function of parent control, web advertizing blocking, the detector of the attacks in the fayervoll, blocking of files and folders in the pro-active module and several other functions available to paid users.

All absent functions fell the victim of free of charge Outpost Security Suite Free: "At release of the free version of a product it is necessary to sacrifice something, and in our case the victim is load of our servers" — Vitaly Janko explains. According to him, the limit in one daily updating will not affect security of computers of its users as in the products Antigum it is focused on a pro-active component of protection.

By experience of the company, will hardly give to users of the free version a big inconvenience exclusively English-language interface and a support service. Agnitum adheres to such practice in the free applications since 2002.

Though localization of a product in itself — not really expensive process, it attracts release of technical and marketing documents in the corresponding language, apart from the organization of the localized support service, and these are already expensive actions — the representative of Agnitum says.

"Of course, in technical support of users of free versions will obviously not "turn" — Janko promises. — But our practice shows that they tend to solve the arising technical issues independently or at forums of users of Outpost".

Free antiviruses represent several producers now: Avast, AVG, Avira, Comodo, Lavasoft, Microsoft, but they, as a rule, represent products of the most basic functionality, suggesting users to pay for premium solutions separately.

By own assessment of the company stated by Vitaly Janko, "a share of the products Agnitum in the Russian market of personal complexes of Internet security (excepting fayervol) makes more than 5%".
