CA, an independent software provider, has announced the immediate availability of its Internet Security Suite Plus 2009. Each element of the suite, which includes a personal firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and anti-phishing software, has been enhanced to provide even stronger protection against a wide-range of emerging online threats, the company said. Its easy-to-use and install single console allows users to monitor the security status of all of the licensed PCs on their home networks. The suite also provides integrated parental controls that help protect children from inappropriate web content. Further, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009 helps users back up and restore their important data and PC settings or transfer them to a new PC. The suite features Intuitive Help Desk for customer support, a simple interface that lets users quickly set preferences or check program status and a gaming/movie mode to reduce interruptions. With tailored security options for wireless connectivity, the suite uses WiFi HotSpot detection technology to alert users when they enter a new network outside of the established home network. "Families should feel safe and secure when they are online. However, there are more online threats than ever before. Our parental controls are designed to be 'child-proof' and prevent even computer-savvy children from uninstalling or disabling the products. In addition to offensive website filtering and blocking, parents can also use the software to set time limits on when children can use the PC and receive daily reports on web activity," said Brian Grayek, VP (Product Management), CA.
