Yes, it’s only July, but internet security providers have
already begun releasing their Antivirus 2013 and Internet Security Suite
2013 solutions. On June 26, TrustPort announced the availability of the latest
editions 2013 to their product portfolio. Lighter!
Faster! More intuitive! And now based on dynamic whitelisting!
TrustPort scores extremely well on Virus Bulletin’s RAP
Test (Reactive and Proactive). They had a
whoops on the most recent VB100 test.
They weren’t part of AV-test.org certification testing earlier this year. They weren’t part av-comparatives.org testing
in March. PC Magazine’s Neil Rubenking gave TrustPort
Antivirus 2012 3.5 stars when it was released.
TrustPort is another Czech based firm, in Brno. Practically next door to AVG Technologies.
Don’t look for a posting with every release of an Internet Security Suite 2013 or Antivirus 2013 solution.
There will probably be a blog providing links to where people can get
information about internet security providers that are in beta with their 2013
offerings

is tailored for users owning either an iPhone, iPad or devices running under Windows platform (Windows 8, 7, Vista, etc).
