Agnitum Outpost Security Suite

Without some form of protection, computers are vulnerable to any threats that lurk on the Internet. Relying on the operating system's default security measures is never a wise choice. Instead, you should look to third party utilities for a stronger protection. Agnitum Outpost Security Suite can guard your system against malware, as well as other threats which can infect or hijack your computer. It comes with various protection modules, for blocking incoming threats and for cleaning files that are already infected.

The software is free, but it is available in a paid version as well, which comes with more features. Installing Agnitum Outpost Security Suite takes a few minutes, but you don't have to go through any confusing options along the way. It can be used on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and it provides support for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems.

Agnitum Outpost Security Suite provides a clean and efficient user interface. The available modules can be accessed via navigation tabs, located in a column, on the left side of the window. A security overview page displays the current state of the modules, situations that need your attention, such as disabled modules, as well as options for fixing them right away.

While the program is running in the background, your system will be protected by its enhanced firewall, anti-leak and anti-spam features, which can be reconfigured in the general settings panel. Among the various tweaks you can make, it is also possible to set a higher or lower protection policy for each feature. With a lower policy, the program will be more lenient on incoming and outgoing data transmissions, but with a higher policy, it will block as many communications to and from the Internet as it can.

Agnitum Outpost Security Suite comes with a real time anti-malware feature as well. If you enable this feature, the program will scan incoming and outgoing emails, temporary data, as well as critical system files. Like other features, the real time scanner can be set to a higher or lower policy. Additionally, you can perform on-demand scans. Besides quick and full scans, it is also possible to perform custom scans, which can be aimed at specific file types.
