Enhanced Antivirus Services by Surfshark, Sporting a Refreshed Interface and Full ARM Compatibility
Surfshark, the highly-regarded VPN provider, has announced a significant update to its antivirus software as part of its all-in-one cybersecurity suite, Surfshark One. This suite includes VPN, antivirus, a private search engine, and data breach monitoring services.
The revamped antivirus software now boasts a new interface, designed with visibility in mind. It offers a protection history, quick access to extra features, and an improved repair option. The update aims to enhance the accessibility and transparency of Surfshark's premium bundle.
One of the key features of the update is the support for ARM devices. This move is a direct response to user requests, as the demand for such support has been steadily growing. Surfshark's antivirus software now runs directly on ARM hardware without the need for translation layers, making it more efficient on devices such as Windows laptops with Snapdragon processors.
While some question the effectiveness of VPNs with antivirus as competitors to established antivirus companies, Surfshark's antivirus component utilizes the respected Avira SDK as its engine. Core antivirus features, such as webcam protection, fully customizable security settings, spyware and malware shielding, and the CloudProtect feature for real-time file scanning, remain unchanged.
The update is available for users running Windows on ARM devices. Fast loading times, a smooth user interface, and responsiveness are expected with the updated antivirus software on these devices. The update might be particularly attractive to users with snazzy Windows Snapdragon laptops.
Surfshark supports Microsoft's efforts to make the Windows operating system safer from the ground up. This update is a testament to Surfshark's commitment to providing comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for its users.
In other Surfshark news, the company sent a graffiti artist to Shoreditch to teach about the absurd simplicity of VPNs, a related topic. VPN apps are currently topping UK app stores, further highlighting the growing interest in cybersecurity solutions.
However, concerns have been expressed about the risks of handing over much information to one single provider, potential backdoors for governments and software companies, and the abundance of security options in Linux. These are valid concerns that users should consider when choosing a cybersecurity suite.
Despite these concerns, Surfshark remains one of the best VPNs on the market, offering a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity tools to its users.
