eTRUST INTERNET SECURITY SUITE

Unfortunately, our society as we once knew it has changed. Although the World Wide Web and internet have revolutionized the way in which things are done, we now face a challenge of hackers, spammers, and other internet security breaches. To protect your computer, it is imperative you use a reputable program specific to spam, spyware, virus, and firewall. With eTrust Internet Security Suite, you can enjoy protection for each of these modules in one program.

Although eTrust Internet Security Suite is not as robust as other programs, it offers enough protection to make it a valuable choice. This particular program is certified for detection and removal of viruses, provides excellent anti-spam protection, and protects against outside attacks by offering a powerful firewall. The pros of this system outweigh the cons with the only real drawback being limited anti-virus scheduling options.

By using the security center or through launching individual applications, you can view the status of protection, as well as perform some of the common actions within the system. With the antivirus technology, eTrust Internet security Suite will automatically check for any updates, clean up infected files, and even scan your emails for potential threats. One of the nice features of this program is that if viruses or threats are located within emails, the system will provide you with one, comprehensive report instead of individual reports for each instance.

The spyware application provides real time protection. Once something has been identified, the system will remove them. Best of all, the anti-spam aspect of this program runs quickly. The only challenge associated with this feature was that on some occasions, commercial key loggers are missed. However, if the program is run a second time, anything missed is caught. In addition, some people have complained that on spyware-infested computers, installing the program was difficult. Therefore, while the other applications of eTrust Internet Security Suite may be better, you can always choose a different spyware application as a stand-alone solution.

Although eTrust Internet Security Suite does not offer the OS firewall, as well as some of the other high-end features, it is still effective. For instance, this program is capable of putting all of the pertinent ports in stealth mode. Additionally, a special program-controlled feature means internet and network access is limited when referring to unauthorized programs. If the system does not know whether a program is good or bad, the user would be questions.

Even the firewall module is designed with several bonus features. For instance, inbound email protection is designed to separate any attachments that appear potentially dangerous. While the user could still open these attachments, they would be required to go through a confirmation process twice. In addition, the inbound protection is able to block virus-like actions such as sending out a large quantity of emails or sending emails to more than a certain number of recipients. Finally, the eTrust Internet Security Suite is made with a feature to prevent specific personal information from leaking out in email or web forms. With this, the personal data is encrypted with a one-way algorithm.
