F-Secure Client Security 7

F-Secure Client Security 7 provides a high level of protection to your

corporate workstations. It integrates antivirus, firewall, antispyware, rootkit

scanning, behavior monitoring system (HIPS) and virus news in one product. An IT

administrator can remotely install the F-Secure client



security on any workstation after installing the policy manager console.

Like F-Secure Internet security suite 2007 (reviewed March2007), this one

also has support for Deepguard for monitoring suspicious program behavior. We

tested it with latest viruses, malware, launched nmap, and ran a DOS attack. We

first attacked one of the workstations with viruses and installed malware on

another workstation. It detected them in real time. We then launched an nmap

attack. Even the DOS attack was detected and reported. The only area of concern

is that when we installed zipped viruses, it just detected them but was not able

to heal or quarantine them. So if you install its standalone version then you

will only be able to know that your system has been attacked but won't be able

to fix it. To fix any attack, you need the support of policy manager.

Bottom Line: It's slightly overpriced, nevertheless a good option

given its remote monitoring capability.
