Hi All,

We are happy to announce the release of PC Tools Internet Security v9.

PC Tools Internet Security delivers powerfully simple protection against all types of online threats like viruses, spyware, and identity theft. Built on award-winning technology, yet made straightforward for everyday use, it's the easy way to defend your personal, financial, and other important information.

Powerful protection - Integrating multiple layers of protection, PC Tools Internet Security defends against the newest forms of cybercrime, no matter how threats try to attack and infect your PC. Whether you are surfing, shopping, socializing, sharing, or banking, comprehensive guards stop new malware faster than traditional security products. And with new Scam Alerts, you’re covered against the latest cybercrime schemes like “get rich quick” offers, fake antivirus “scareware,” and malicious sites created solely to exploit the latest movie trailers, natural disasters, or other hot news topics that trick people into divulging confidential information.

Engineered for speed - No more sitting around waiting for protection. Along with its robust, award-winning technology, PC Tools Internet Security relentlessly guards your PC without interfering with everyday use. Easily customize performance levels to fit your needs, while intelligent cloud-based scans identify online threats faster.

A new experience – Refreshed with a new user interface and experience, PC Tools Internet Security is easier than ever to use. It runs silently in the background, updating, scheduling scans, and even automatically removing infections so you can install, set, and forget with maximized protection. It’s the powerful, easy, and fast way to keep your computer and your personal information safe.
