| Avanquest Software, one of the leading
developers and publishers of small business and consumer software for the global PC
market, today announced the launch of System Suite 8 Professional, designed to maintain
and protect PCs, ensuring they continue to run as smoothly as the day of purchase.
In one comprehensive package, System Suite 8 Professional
enables computer users to block viruses, spyware and hackers, protect against spam,
diagnose PC problems and recover lost data. System Suite 8 Professional comes with more
than 60 powerful tools and three user licenses at a suggested retail price of $49.95.
"System Suite is a complete and vital collection of
security and maintenance tools in one affordable package, ideal for small businesses and
households with up to three PCs," said Ryan Smith, Director of Product Marketing,
Avanquest USA. "With online identity theft and Internet fraud on the rise, the
optimization and maintenance tools of System Suite are essential in safeguarding
information and maintaining the privacy of personal computers."
Advanced PC Protection
System Suite 8 Professional leads the way in securing and
maintaining the health of the PC. The software includes a complete security package with
antivirus, anti-spyware and anti-spam features. The software's VirusScanner and EasyUpdate
features work together to routinely monitor for new viruses and provide the most current
antivirus and anti-spyware protection available. The software's antivirus wizards enable
users to be in the driver's seat and manage their PC protection, by running only the virus
and spam scans that fit their needs.
New to System Suite's security package is WebDefense, a
unique feature that integrates with major search engines to identify and block malicious
websites before they're clicked, protecting against hacked pages, phishing and fraudulent
scams.
System Suite also offers NetDefense firewall software,
which provides a higher level of protection than the basic firewall available on Windows
Vista and XP computers. System Suite's firewall provides enhanced security and controls
with both inbound and outbound port protection, advanced logging capabilities and a
built-in list of good and bad programs that are used when setting permissions for
applications that try to access a PC's network connection.
Managing Data
In addition to its security features, System Suite offers
optimization and utility tools to easily tune up the hard drive, enhance Windows startup,
fix registry problems, restore a non-booting PC and recover data. System Suite's new
Active Intelligence Monitor automatically monitors and checks the health and security
status of PCs ensuring they are always protected. The software makes it easy for computer
users to optimize their PCs with its new System Optimizer. PC owners can optimize their
computers for special tasks such as gaming, multimedia or office use.
System Suite's built-in Recovery Commander enables computer
users to restore a non-booting PC back to normal. Fully integrated and enhanced, Recovery
Commander includes the ability to save and restore Windows XP and Vista checkpoints,
making it easy to restore a PC back to a past configuration. The software includes
advanced features that provide the ability to see selected checkpoint differences with the
current system and choose specific items to restore.
System Suite's File Shredder makes it easy to permanently
delete data from a computer's hard drive, helping to protect private information. File
Shredder meets the U.S. Department of Defense security cleaning standards, ensuring that
erased data is completely unrecoverable.
System Suite 8 Professional supports Windows 2000, XP and
Vista operating systems and is available at www.avanquestusa.com
or through major retailers across the nation.
