SmartScan makes wonders!

In a few blog notes before we boasted statistics of antivirus scan speeds within Outpost Security Suite, here's the data of yet another research performed by Antimalware Test Lab.

As you remember all Agnitum's products are empowered with SmartScan technology, which helps skyrocket overall product performance and dramatically minimize scanning time. SmartScan records statistics of previous scans and avoids checking unchanged files in consequent analyses, which makes malware checks extremely fast and easy.

The first chart shows primary scan speeds across a bunch of security solutions:

Outpost 2009 does pretty well on the clean set collection with a decent 3 minutes showing.

Now let's take a look at the repeated scan statistics:

Yes, right! Outpost performs a repeated check in just about 5 seconds!

For details, you can study the chart below (click to enlarge):

Keep your eye open for Outpost software updates and new versions that will include further performance tweaks and iterations of the acclaimed SmartScan technology.

Another VB100 in Agnitum’s collection. In tests under WinServer 2003 x64

Hot on the heels of our analysis of VB100 test statistics Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 received another award this June. This month's test platform was Windows Server 2003 x64.

According to Virus Bulletin, “with no issues in the current WildList set, no false positives and no other problems, Agnitum starts this month's comparative off well by winning a VB100 award".

It should be noted that Outpost Security Suite Pro 2009 is one of very few solutions on the market to offer “native” compatibility with 64-bit platforms and has been specifically designed to work smoothly on both 32- and 64-bit systems.

The new iteration of Agnitum’s all-in-one solution and standalone products - compatible with new Windows Server 2008 and Vista's service packs as well as Windows 7 RC (in beta regime) and featuring an enhanced anti-malware engine, is expected in summer 2009 and will be granted a special notification.

The latest edition of Outpost Security Suite Pro is available for download at the product page.
