Spyware News: Lavasoft releases Anti-Virus Helix

Lavasoft unveiled Anti-Virus Helix, a stand-alone security tool designed to address the rapidly changing malware landscape. This new product delivers comprehensive protection and high performance with low impact on system resources.

Lavasoft Anti-Virus Helix features advanced heuristics technology to detect and guard against unknown or rapidly changing attackers. The heuristics looks at the characteristics and the code sequences of the file to determine whether or not the file is malicious, giving computer users protection against both known threats, as well as against emerging and unknown threats.

Lavasoft Anti-Virus Helix also includes comprehensive protection against e-mail borne threats – one of the most common methods of infection – with an integrated e-mail scanner supporting both POP3 and SMTP. It is available with 1, 3, or 5 user license packs, and includes free technical support and software updates throughout the license period. Prices begin at $23.95, with aggressive discounts for multi-user licenses.
