Webroot has made a series of improvements to the SecureAnywhere product. The new release comes with a redesigned interface, better detection technology, and extended support for Macs, PCs, Android and Apple iOS devices.

In addition to these enhancements, Webroot has also improved web content filtering, advanced user authentication, and expanded the management website. The latest version of SecureAnywhere also supports integration of the Webroot Backup & Sync product with Microsoft Windows Explorer.

The introduction of real-time anti-phishing technology protects users against phishing attacks by performing a quick analysis of the visited websites.

Webroot Infrared is a powerful malware detection engine powered by the Webroot Intelligence Network (WIN) cloud service that analyzes files based on their behavior and origin. Infrared is designed to provide customized protection based on the operating system, applications and prior threats.

Other features worth mentioning are the social network protection, remote locks or wipes for mobile devices, password management, and automatic backups.

“The volume of new malware and phishing attacks increased by over 50 percent last year, and the sophistication of these attacks is increasing as well,” commented Mike Malloy, executive vice president of products and strategy at Webroot.

“With the newest release of Webroot SecureAnywhere, we have integrated powerful, new protection features that address these emerging threats in real time. Our customer data shows that less than one-half of one percent of SecureAnywhere users have gotten infected since switching to our solution, the best protection in the security industry,” Malloy added.

“Webroot's cloud-based threat intelligence simply responds more quickly and more effectively than traditional security products to protect all of our users as soon as they are attacked by a new threat.”

Existing customers will receive the updated version of SecureAnywhere for free. The product can also be purchased from Webroot’s website or from select retailers. Check out a video presentation of the improvements.
