 Cybercrime in the region has increased over the years and the offenders often use encrypted malware to avoid detection. In order to deal with these security risks, the company has conducted extensive research and extended its core detection technology in version 7 products with three new features such as Exploit Blocker, which provides protection against new and undiscovered malware; Advanced Memory Scanner, it helps to guard against malware actively attempting to evade detection by using complex techniques and the Vulnerability Shield operates on the network level and shields against abuse of known vulnerabilities.

The new version 7 products monitor and maintain the users’ social network accounts against threats, allowing the user to choose from on-demand and automatic scans for malware detection. Apart from better scanning of Facebook, it also extends protection to the users’ Twitter account.
