On June 10, 2014, SafenSoft announced the release of a new version of SafenSoft SysWatch Personal 3.9.

An antivirus scanner with virus databases from BitDefender has been added to this version.

According to the developers, the SafenSoft-based protection approach helps protect the system from zero-day threats and does not require regular updates. However, for the full use of proactive technologies, a certain understanding of the operating system principles is required.

The user has the opportunity to participate in testing the new version, in his own software environment. After SafenSoft SysWatch Personal 3.9 Beta expires, the user can upgrade to the previous version of SafenSoft SysWatch Personal 3.8 Beta, request a new product activation key, or wait for the new version to be released.

About free

"We decided to distribute SafenSoft SysWatch Personal 3.8 for free for several reasons," said Mikhail Kalinichenko, CEO of SafenSoft. - Firstly, the level of protection of the personal computer of the average home user is unacceptably low, but for security purposes such a user almost always considers only free programs. So if we want to help an ordinary person deal with cyber threats, we're just forced to give them free protection. Secondly, a year ago we already released a free personal version of the product for the American market, which worked well to increase the recognition of our company in the market and made it possible to significantly increase sales of corporate products and solutions for protecting self-service devices, so we want to repeat this success in the domestic market. And thirdly, the Russian user has a certain ingenuity, so using some tricks, our compatriots simply received a free version of the product aimed at American users. SafenSoft SysWatch Personal is very popular among advanced users who can realize all the advantages of our approach to protecting the integrity of the software environment, so we decided to simplify the algorithm for accessing the distribution kit for them - just download, and that's it!
