Prevents the copying of harmful code onto memory media, carries out antivirus tests on any host computer. Enables the encryption of files against unauthorized entry and offers the reliable shredding of private data which is no longer in use.

Features:

TrustPort Antivirus has a number of features that improve overall security and usability. For starters, the antivirus software can scan removable drives (USB flash drives), and it can scan your computer memory as soon as the computer starts up.

The security software includes the flexibility to control what happens when a threat is detected. You can preset the software to try and repair the infected file (if possible), send it to the quarantine, delete it, or even always ask you for your input. The secure quarantine is an inoculated storage space where infected files can be stored but can’t pose any real threat to the system.

Anti Virus Protection

Protection will run automatically when the USB flash disk is installed on the computer, thus preventing the virus spreading into your data storage media.

Through regular updates, antivirus detect known threats. But every day there are millions of new viruses, worms and Trojans. To detect them, TrustPort decision to apply advanced technology analysis of the behavior of malicious programs, which determines whether the object (file, document or program) is dangerous or not.

This feature allows you to store sensitive data in encrypted form on a USB flash disk drive or memory card that protects prevent the loss or theft of your personal data.

On-access protection:

· Every program started and every file opened undergoes an antivirus check. The resident protection reliably blocks attempts to run malware. Depending on the repair settings the defective file is renamed, moved to quarantine or permanently deleted.

On-demand scanner:

· It is possible to carry out regular or one-off checks of the entire disk, selected contents or files.
· Scanning can be planned on regular weekly, daily or hourly cycles but of course it can also be carried out manually according to current needs.

High level of virus and spyware detection:

· Thanks to the use of two top of the range scanner motors the antivirus is able to achieve one of the highest detection rates in the world. It is able to detect and stop practically all existing viruses, worms and trojans.

Heuristic analysis:

· In addition to traditional scanning methods based on the comparison of the data being checked with a database containing examples of viruses, the antivirus is also able to identify as yet undefined harmful code. Analysis of the structure and behaviour of the start code can with a high degree of probably ascertain if the code contains a virus or spyware.

Bonus Tools

As in previous versions, TrustPort includes a motley collection of bonus security tools. The data shredder will securely delete any file or folder, overwriting the data before deleting the file. You can invoke it by right-clicking the file, or click a link in the main window to wipe specific sensitive areas.

If you’re working on top-secret documents, consider configuring TrustPort’s panic shredder. This lets you securely wipe out a specified collection of files and folders in an instant by pressing the panic hotkey. Just don’t press it by mistake!

Like BitDefender Total Security 2011 ($69.95 direct for three licenses, 3.5 stars), McAfee Total Protection 2011 ($79.99 direct for three licenses, 3.5 stars), and others, TrustPort can create encrypted virtual drives for storing sensitive data. When unlocked the virtual drive appears in Windows Explorer like any other drive; when locked its contents are inaccessible.

The ZIP format is universal these days. Even Windows supports it directly. For reasons not entirely clear to me, TrustPort creates and manages archives using its own proprietary CAR format. It does include the option to make self-extracting archives, thereby allowing you to share with non-TrustPort users.
