Posted in Information and Removal on 3 June 2009

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:
