The Shield Deluxe provides both antivirus and antispyware technology, to keep you protected from viruses, trojans, worms and spyware.

The Shield Deluxe offers a number of features to maintain this comprehensive cover. For example, The Shield Deluxe uses two integrated means of scanning to ensure all areas of your computer are protected from all kinds of threats. Scans involve a reactive method (which uses signature databases to solve newly arisen threats) and proactive protection (involving behaviour blocker and the heuristic analysis of potential threats).

Anti-virus protection is offered through Hauri technology, which can both detect and resolve viruses on your computer. To achieve this, it uses high-speed and advanced scanning to make sure all virus threats are quickly addressed. This is extended to e-mail, making sure that there are no malicious codes or infected downloads hidden in your incoming mail. If any of these dangers are found, the e-mail is cleaned in real-time before it can infect your computer.

Updates are daily, and scans can do a complete system check to make sure there are no hidden viruses. Viruses are blocked in real-time, so no matter when you use your computer you are protected.

The Shield Deluxe’s ‘Shield Pro 2009’ provides a patch within 2-3 hours if a virus has broken out; the cure for the virus is sent out within 5 hours.

The Shield Deluxe is also designed to work as affectively on laptops. The Shield Deluxe has an economy mode that helps to conserve your battery energy, so you can remain safe without losing your mobility. If you use Wi-fi internet connections, the antivirus databases can be automatically downloaded. The software has been based upon Intel Centrino mobile technology to ensure you can get optimum use out of your laptop whilst being protected by The Shield Deluxe.

All virus updates are free and so is The Shield Deluxe’s technical support, and can be downloaded from $29.99.
