“By achieving a gold competency, partners have demonstrated the highest, most consistent capability and commitment to the latest Microsoft technology,” said Jon Roskill, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “These partners have a deep expertise that puts them in the top 1 percent of our partner ecosystem, and their proficiency will help customers drive innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology.”

Attaining the Microsoft Independent Software Vendor (ISV)/Software competency demonstrates partner expertise in developing applications based on Microsoft solutions. Equipped with exclusive training, the latest software, and support on Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server, Windows 7 and Microsoft cloud services, these partners are equipped to develop innovative solutions to meet their customers’ needs.

The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and, with 640,000 Microsoft partners in their ecosystem, to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.

Auslogics Releases Antivirus vers.15

London, UK –July 12^th  2012, – Auslogics Software has released a new version of its award-winning Antivirus product that has been updated to add more levels of protection and a means to make the program even less noticeable on your computer.

Auslogics Antivirus vers. 15 keeps all of the valuable features from the previous version, such as 'Active Virus Control' to catch both known and newly released viruses, 'Privacy Protection' to allow for safe online banking and shopping, 'Game and Laptop Modes' to save system resources ‘Vulnerability Scan’ to detect security holes and others.

At the same time, the newly released version packs an even greater punch in the fight against malware and makes it easy for all users to keep their PC’s protected. No matter if you are into games, music or movies, or if you use your computer for work or study, Auslogics Antivirus can be configured to fit your usage style.

Some of the most prominent new features in Auslogics Antivirus version 15 are:

·         Auto Pilot mode, which lets you forget that you have an active antivirus program on your computer. The software will configure the settings for optimal protection and work silently in the background without interrupting you with popup notifications or requests for input.

·         Rescue Mode, which makes cleaning up severe malware infections easier by working in the non-Windows environment. When the operating system is rendered unbootable due to a virus infection, you do not have to give up on your computer or take it in for expensive repairs anymore. As long as Auslogics Antivirus had been installed on your PC prior to this happening, you can boot your computer into Rescue Mode to clean up the infection and restore your operating system.

·         Browser Sandbox Mode, which creates an extra layer of protection by isolating the internet browser from your OS to prevent online threats from invading your system. An indispensable tool that is easily accessed at a click of a button and that can give you peace of mind when browsing unfamiliar areas of the World Wide Web.

Most of the old functions have been improved and/or upgraded to make the program more convenient and easy to navigate:

·         Scanning algorithms have been improved to make for faster processing of files and other items, and therefore shorter scan times.

·         Privacy control functionality has been updated to make your personal data even more secure and protected from hacker attacks.

·         Application behaviour analysis algorithms have also been improved to make the program even more capable of identifying and blocking threats that have not been classified yet.

These and other new features, along with the updated user interface and the fact that this software has placed among the top 10 AV’s in Virus Bulletin tests, make Auslogics Antivirus one of the best security solutions available on the market today.

Antivirus vers.15 is available now at £19.99 from: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/antivirus/download/
