“We are very pleased to be integrated with iolo’s new System Mechanic 5 Professional,” said Kaspersky Labs’ Business Development Director Vitaly Bezrodnykh. “Over the last five years, the number of malicious programs which KasperskyR Anti-Virus databases detect has increased almost 80 times. This is because up to several hundred new viruses appear every week. More importantly, many viruses spread lightning fast penetrating the whole addressable audience on the Internet as fast as in a few hours. Therefore it has become of utmost importance that PC users can have their virus protection updated on timely basis. By announcing hourly updates to its anti-virus databases, first in the industry, Kaspersky Labs has significantly raised PC users’ protective shield from the industry’s typical once a day update frequency.”
Alongside scheduled hourly updates, Kaspersky Labs also releases additional urgent updates for antivirus databases. These updates are a rapid response to virus epidemics, providing protection within minutes of threatening virus activity being detected.
System Mechanic 5 Professional also integrated a state-of-the-art Internet firewall from Kaspersky Labs, which prevents unauthorized access to PCs from the Internet and stops hackers from destroying, stealing, or corrupting users’ information.
Chief Information Officer Scott Yenor of iolo technologies commented, “Iolo is focused on providing our customers with superior quality and innovation in technology. The partnership with Kaspersky Labs and integration of their award-winning anti-virus solution into System Mechanic 5 Professional represents our ongoing commitment to producing the highest quality products available today.”
