I totally disagree and I recommend FCS; Please revise the comparison I sent. I Moved from Kasper to FCS in 2008 and I am very satisfied from the performance and the security level provided from FCS.

Also the Kasper make a very big load during scanning and updating.

Dear Eman

 

Microsoft Forefront Client Security is very light and easy to be deployed. Also you can find a lot of script that can remove Symantec EndPoint 11 and install FCS instead.

FCS is using WSUS and Microsoft Update Site to update the clients which make the update process very easy to be managed by administrators. Also the FCS gave very nice report about the status of the clients.

 

I am using FCS from more than 2 years and I have tested in many environment and it is working very effectively. The European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] had replaced recently the Symantec and use now FCS (URL: http://cerncourier. com/cws/article/ cnl/39599)

 

In Egypt; A lot of huge Enterprise Customers had started the implementation of the FCS and I am talking about Organizations more than 5000 clients.

 

It is really a nice and strong product and the next version Stirling is amazing and it is expected to be release in Q1 2010.

Microsoft Security Essentials, the new no-cost, anti-malware service that helps protect consumers against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, will be available tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 29. It requires no registration, trials or renewals and will be available for download directly from Microsoft at http://www.microsof t.com/security_ essentials.

 

Making Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) broadly available as a free consumer download for genuine Windows-based PCs is part of the company's ongoing commitment to provide a more trustworthy computing experience for all customers. The company hopes to encourage broader adoption of anti-virus protection across the consumer audience, which in turn will help increase security across the entire Windows ecosystem. For business customers, Microsoft continues to offer Forefront Client Security.

 

MSE will have a positive impact on Forefront products, because it allows Microsoft to capture additional threat intelligence from customers using MSE and apply it to our security research, signature development and protection capabilities in Forefront solutions.

Subject: Windows 7 New Tools

The changes to the Windows 7 interface have gotten a lot of play, but some of the new built-in tools are just as compelling. Some improvements are less obvious — like the new or enhanced tools that are included with the OS. Here we discuss 10 of these cool tools that make the computing experience easier.

 

1.       Action Center: Centralized management is the name of the game today, and Windows 7 gives you a one-stop shopping location where you can go to deal with security issues, troubleshooting, and recovery, instead of searching out separate applets for each. It’s all combined in an easy-to-use Control Panel applet, where you get maintenance and security messages and can view performance information, change UAC settings, and more, as shown in Figure 1.

cid:image004.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 1: The Windows 7 Action Center provides a centralized location for dealing with security and system problems.

This is an outgrowth of the Security Center in Windows Vista. It made sense to combine security settings and actions with system maintenance and recovery issues. The Action Center also shows up as an icon in the system tray, which displays a red X if there are problems you need to address, as shown in Figure 2.

cid:image007.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 2: The Action Center is represented by an icon in the System Tray to alert you when a message needs your attention.

A nice touch is that Microsoft makes it easy for you to turn the various types of notifications on or off, as shown in Figure 3. Thus, if you have an antivirus program installed that Windows doesn’t recognize, you don’t have to deal with constant messages urging you to install one — just turn off virus protection messages.

cid:image008.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 3: You can turn the various types of notifications on or off as you wish.

2.       Problem Steps Recorder: One of the coolest new tools in Windows 7 is the Problem Steps Recorder (PSR) — especially for those of us who provide support to Windows users. No matter how hard they try, users often have problems accurately describing the problem they’re experiencing or the steps they took before or after experiencing it. Sure, Remote Assistance can be a godsend in those situations. But you can’t always connect to the user’s computer in real time. That’s when the PSR comes in handy.

It’s really a type of screen capture software that records all actions — keystrokes, mouse clicks, etc. — and saves the sequence of events in an MHTML page that documents every step the user took, along with screenshots. You start the PSR by entering psr.exe in the Start menu Search box or at the command prompt. The interface is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: The Problem Steps Recorder provides an accurate record of a user’s actions, along with screenshots.

You can view the recorded steps in IE by double-clicking the saved zipped MHTML file, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: You can view the recorded steps in Internet Explorer.

3.       ISO burner: An ISO image is a type of archive file that is often used to distribute software. In Windows 7, Microsoft addressed something that’s been on the wish list of many users for a long time: Now you don’t have to download and install a third-party program to burn an ISO file to disc. This also works for images with the .IMG file extension.

It’s a simple process: After you download an .ISO to your hard drive, just double-click it and Windows 7 will open the Burn Disc Image dialog box, shown in Figure 6.

http://1.1.1.2/bmi/i.techrepublic.com.com/gallery/304004-365-340.jpg

Figure 6: Now you can burn an ISO image to disc easily without installing third-party software.

4.       Biometric device management: In earlier versions of Windows, biometric authentication and management of biometric devices (fingerprint sensors) required third-party software that might or might not integrate well with the OS. Now it’s built in. Windows 7 includes the Windows Biometric Framework, which gives developers an API they can use to build biometrics into applications. Makers of fingerprint sensor hardware, such as UPEK and AuthenTec, worked with Microsoft on the development of the Framework. Biometric devices are managed through a Control Panel applet, shown in Figure 7.

undefined

Figure 7: You can change biometric settings and manage devices through a Control Panel applet.

5.       Credential Manager: The Credential Manager is another new feature in Windows 7. It is similar in some ways to the password management feature in Vista’s User Accounts applet but is more sophisticated. You can manage Windows credentials for various computers that you sign onto, certificate-based credentials, and other generic credentials (for e-mail accounts, Web accounts, etc.). These are all stored, by default, in the Windows Vault, as shown in Figure 8.

cid:image017.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 8: Windows 7’s Credential Manager can store passwords and certificates in a central location.

Perhaps the best new feature in Credential Manager is the ability to back up and restore the Vault. Microsoft recommends that you back up your credentials to a removable drive, such as a flash drive, to make it easier to restore them if you have a hardware failure.

6.       Display projection and Windows Mobility Center: If you give lots of presentations, you’ll welcome a new tool in Windows 7 that makes it easy for you to display your Windows 7 portable computer’s desktop on a projector. Just press the Windows logo key + P and you’ll see the pop-up box shown in Figure 9.

cid:image016.png@01CA4122.823EFCE0

Figure 9: The Display Switch settings box lets you quickly change how you want your desktop displayed.

The first setting is the default and displays on the computer screen only. The second setting clones the display on the computer screen to the projector. The third setting extends the desktop across both the computer screen and the projector, and the fourth setting displays via the projector only and turns off the computer screen. Pressing the Windows logo key + X opens up the Windows Mobility Center. Through this interface, shown in Figure J, you can turn on presentation mode. This disables your screensaver, sets your wallpaper to a neutral one and even puts your IM client on “do not disturb” status. (Figure 10)

cid:image018.png@01CA4123.0B4DA860

Figure 10: When you’re presenting, you can set your laptop to Presentation mode.

7.       Text tuning and color calibration: Your computer does the work, but your monitor is what you look at all day. If it doesn’t look good, you don’t get the most out of your computing experience, and you can even strain your eyes. Windows 7 includes two great tools for adjusting your display to fit your preferences. You can access the ClearType Text Tuner from Control Panel or from the command line (cttune.exe). If you have multiple monitors, you can tune the type on each of them individually, as shown in Figure 11.

cid:image019.png@01CA4123.0B4DA860

Figure 11: You can tune the ClearType text on each of your monitors to suit your preferences.

The tuning tool works somewhat like those eye charts at the optometrist’s office: You select the one that looks best to you, as shown in Figure 12.

 

cid:image020.png@01CA4123.57BFAA40

Figure 12: To tune the text display, you pick the text that looks best to you.

In addition to the text tuner, Windows 7 provides a color calibration tool. It’s accessible from the Control Panel or from the command line (dccw.exe). It helps you to adjust the gamma, brightness, contrast, and color rendition on your monitors for the best display, as shown in Figure 13.

cid:image021.png@01CA4123.EBEED880

Figure 13: The Windows 7 Color Calibration tools helps you optimize your display.

8.       System Repair Disc: The Vista Service Pack 1 betas included a new feature that let you easily create a system repair disc with a friendly graphical interface, but it was removed in the final release of SP1. Windows 7 restores this functionality. Just click Start and type System Repair in the Search box. Click on Create A System Repair Disc. This opens the dialog box shown in Figure 14.

cid:image022.png@01CA4123.EBEED880

Figure 14: Windows 7 makes it easy to create a system repair disc.

To use the disc, put it in your drive and reboot the computer from the disc. (You may have to set the CD/DVD drive as the primary boot device in your BIOS.) Then, you’ll get a list of system recovery options, which include:

·         Startup repair

·         System restore

·         System image recovery

·         Windows memory diagnostic

·         Command prompt

9.       Better backup utility: Of course, previous versions of Windows included a backup utility, but this tool has been significantly improved in Windows 7. Vista’s backup program was user friendly but not very flexible. Windows 7 gives you more granular control over what you want to back up. You can also exclude specified folders from the backup.

You can invoke the Backup And Restore applet from Control Panel or by typing Backup in the Search box on the Start menu. You can back up your files to a local hard disk, a removable disk, a DVD, or another computer on the network. (You may need to provide credentials to access a network location.) Then, you can choose to back up libraries or individual folders, as shown in Figure 15.

cid:image025.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 15: The Windows 7 Backup utility lets you back up the folders you choose.

10.   PowerShell v2: Windows PowerShell (Figure 16) is a command-line shell interface and scripting tool that makes it easier for Windows administrators to automate tasks using cmdlets, which are commands that perform single tasks, and scripts, which are made up of multiple cmdlets to perform more complex, multi-step tasks.

cid:image027.jpg@01CA412E.63F0FFC0

Figure 16: PowerShell is included in Windows 7 by Default

Previous versions of Windows include a command-line interpreter (command.com or cmd.exe), but PowerShell is much more powerful, providing a UNIX-like command environment that can automate almost every GUI functionality. PowerShell can be downloaded to run on Windows XP or Vista, but Windows 7 is the first client operating system that comes with it built in. (It is also installed by default in Windows Server 2008 R2.) PowerShell v2 adds about 240 new cmdlets, as well as new APIs and features, such as the ability to invoke PowerShell scripts and cmdlets on a remote computer. You can find out more about PowerShell on the Microsoft Web site.

Dear Eman

 

Microsoft Forefront Client Security is very light and easy to be deployed. Also you can find a lot of script that can remove Symantec EndPoint 11 and install FCS instead.

FCS is using WSUS and Microsoft Update Site to update the clients which make the update process very easy to be managed by administrators. Also the FCS gave very nice report about the status of the clients.

 

I am using FCS from more than 2 years and I have tested in many environment and it is working very effectively. The European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] had replaced recently the Symantec and use now FCS (URL: http://cerncourier. com/cws/article/ cnl/39599)

 

In Egypt; A lot of huge Enterprise Customers had started the implementation of the FCS and I am talking about Organizations more than 5000 clients.

 

It is really a nice and strong product and the next version Stirling is amazing and it is expected to be release in Q1 2010.

Dear Mohamed

 

FCS was in the previous Magic Quadrant of Gartner; and he was not mention in the current Quadrant but I believe that the next Generation will be there for sure as there will be a scenario name “Zero-Day Scenario” that will Allow the TMG to detect any Malware trying to connect to the network; and it will notify the Striling Management Server which will automatically disable the user account; the email account and the OCS Account.

 

Concerning the part of the top 10 best products; maybe you are looking to the list of the consumer products as FCS is not for selling for normal user; it is only available for enterprise customer.

 

Forefront Client Security is also certified by industry-leading organizations, and has the VB100% award:

·         ICSA has acted as the security industry’s central authority for research, intelligence, and certification testing of products for over a decade.  They certify over 95% of the installed base of antivirus, anti-spyware, and other security products commonly deployed in the world today.

·         West Coast Labs is an independent organization that tests security products.  Its Checkmark system is a quality testing and certification service with established, independent standards on product effectiveness. 

·         Virus Bulletin carries out independent comparative testing of anti-virus products.  The VB100 award was first introduced in 1998.

 (ICSA and West Coast Labs certifications are updated on a monthly basis, and Forefront Client Security has consistently been in good standing since its launch.)

 

In recent tests, Microsoft’s anti-malware engine ranked among the leaders in anti-virus protection.

In August, AV-Test.org published the results of its testing of 29 anti-virus engines against more than 870,000 malware files discovered during the last six months.  Engines tested included those from Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Bitdefender, and others.  Microsoft’s anti-virus engine was among the leaders, detecting more than 96% of the malware samples. 

Also in August, AVComparatives conducted its second test of consumer anti-virus products in 2007, which covers a malware sample covering approximately the last three years.  Windows Live OneCare detected more than 90% of the malware samples and receiving their certification.

 

Also when you review the list and review the prices; you will find that FCS with this performance VS cost is really a good deal. And as I mentioned a lot of enterprise company had moved to Forefront and working in the migration. Also I mentioned that CERN had start the migration.

By combining a stable design with scanning innovations, the FCS agent efficiently uses system resources, scans quickly, and detects malware effectively.   We commissioned West Coast Labs to do technical performance benchmarking on a number of dimensions.   West Coast Labs used two test networks during the test program:

·         Test Network One simulated a business environment where machines were older and had limited resources,

·         Test Network Two simulated a business environment where machines were modern and up-to-date. 

 

As you can see in the above results, Forefront Client Security compared favorably against a number of competitors, particularly in average use of CPU and memory; boot time increase; and scan time.  When you factor this against recent test results around malware detection, you can see that FCS is very competitive with leading vendors.

 

Background information:

All scanning tests were performed on both networks. A server of an identical specification, an Acer Aspire T180 PC, Athlon 64x2 with 1 Gb memory was used in each network.  Test Network One was composed of five older machines and the server; the five client machines were:

·         WCL007, 1.2 GHz, 504 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL009, 900 MHz, 524 Mb memory and a 15.3 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL018, 650 MHz, 650 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL055, 1.3 GHz, 256 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL064, 2.4 GHz, 256 Mb memory and a 40 Gb hard disk.

·         Test Network Two was composed of Dell 170L(sd)s, all 2.66 GHz with 512 Mb RAM.   All workstations ran unpatched Windows XP Professional SP2.

The switches in use for each network were also different; Test Network One used an SMC EZ switch (10/100) while Test Network Two used a Dell PowerConnect 332L switch (10/100/1000) .

 

Boot-time increase:  Measuring real-time scanning impact and on-access performance drag, pre-scheduled scanning performance drag and system responsiveness after on-demand scanning, including examples such as Word/Excel cold start speed.

Dear Waleed

Thanks for sharing information about FCS.

Actually I am a symantec user for more than 6 years.
Two years ago, I tried to test FCS, and found it a very light and effective one.
Manageable, Easy updates and background working without taking a lot of resources are really the main benefits of this product.

But the main thing that makes me stop going to this product is its lower reputation as AV for the enterprises.
I couldn't even find its name within the 10 listed best products !!

So if you have any information about its good reputation nowadays (as AV assessment sites references , not MS ones), kindly share it with us.

Many thanks

Dear Mohamed

 

FCS was in the previous Magic Quadrant of Gartner; and he was not mention in the current Quadrant but I believe that the next Generation will be there for sure as there will be a scenario name “Zero-Day Scenario” that will Allow the TMG to detect any Malware trying to connect to the network; and it will notify the Striling Management Server which will automatically disable the user account; the email account and the OCS Account.

 

Concerning the part of the top 10 best products; maybe you are looking to the list of the consumer products as FCS is not for selling for normal user; it is only available for enterprise customer.

 

Forefront Client Security is also certified by industry-leading organizations, and has the VB100% award:

·         ICSA has acted as the security industry’s central authority for research, intelligence, and certification testing of products for over a decade.  They certify over 95% of the installed base of antivirus, anti-spyware, and other security products commonly deployed in the world today.

·         West Coast Labs is an independent organization that tests security products.  Its Checkmark system is a quality testing and certification service with established, independent standards on product effectiveness. 

·         Virus Bulletin carries out independent comparative testing of anti-virus products.  The VB100 award was first introduced in 1998.

 (ICSA and West Coast Labs certifications are updated on a monthly basis, and Forefront Client Security has consistently been in good standing since its launch.)

 

In recent tests, Microsoft’s anti-malware engine ranked among the leaders in anti-virus protection.

In August, AV-Test.org published the results of its testing of 29 anti-virus engines against more than 870,000 malware files discovered during the last six months.  Engines tested included those from Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Bitdefender, and others.  Microsoft’s anti-virus engine was among the leaders, detecting more than 96% of the malware samples. 

Also in August, AVComparatives conducted its second test of consumer anti-virus products in 2007, which covers a malware sample covering approximately the last three years.  Windows Live OneCare detected more than 90% of the malware samples and receiving their certification.

 

Also when you review the list and review the prices; you will find that FCS with this performance VS cost is really a good deal. And as I mentioned a lot of enterprise company had moved to Forefront and working in the migration. Also I mentioned that CERN had start the migration.

By combining a stable design with scanning innovations, the FCS agent efficiently uses system resources, scans quickly, and detects malware effectively.   We commissioned West Coast Labs to do technical performance benchmarking on a number of dimensions.   West Coast Labs used two test networks during the test program:

·         Test Network One simulated a business environment where machines were older and had limited resources,

·         Test Network Two simulated a business environment where machines were modern and up-to-date. 

 

As you can see in the above results, Forefront Client Security compared favorably against a number of competitors, particularly in average use of CPU and memory; boot time increase; and scan time.  When you factor this against recent test results around malware detection, you can see that FCS is very competitive with leading vendors.

 

Background information:

All scanning tests were performed on both networks. A server of an identical specification, an Acer Aspire T180 PC, Athlon 64x2 with 1 Gb memory was used in each network.  Test Network One was composed of five older machines and the server; the five client machines were:

·         WCL007, 1.2 GHz, 504 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL009, 900 MHz, 524 Mb memory and a 15.3 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL018, 650 MHz, 650 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL055, 1.3 GHz, 256 Mb memory and a 20 Gb hard disk.

·         WCL064, 2.4 GHz, 256 Mb memory and a 40 Gb hard disk.

·         Test Network Two was composed of Dell 170L(sd)s, all 2.66 GHz with 512 Mb RAM.   All workstations ran unpatched Windows XP Professional SP2.

The switches in use for each network were also different; Test Network One used an SMC EZ switch (10/100) while Test Network Two used a Dell PowerConnect 332L switch (10/100/1000) .

 

Boot-time increase:  Measuring real-time scanning impact and on-access performance drag, pre-scheduled scanning performance drag and system responsiveness after on-demand scanning, including examples such as Word/Excel cold start speed.

Dear Waleed

Thanks for sharing information about FCS.

Actually I am a symantec user for more than 6 years.
Two years ago, I tried to test FCS, and found it a very light and effective one.
Manageable, Easy updates and background working without taking a lot of resources are really the main benefits of this product.

But the main thing that makes me stop going to this product is its lower reputation as AV for the enterprises.
I couldn't even find its name within the 10 listed best products !!

So if you have any information about its good reputation nowadays (as AV assessment sites references , not MS ones), kindly share it with us.

Many thanks

Microsoft Forefront Client Security is very light and easy to be deployed. Also you can find a lot of script that can remove Symantec EndPoint 11 and install FCS instead.

FCS is using WSUS and Microsoft Update Site to update the clients which make the update process very easy to be managed by administrators. Also the FCS gave very nice report about the status of the clients.

 

I am using FCS from more than 2 years and I have tested in many environment and it is working very effectively. The European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] had replaced recently the Symantec and use now FCS (URL: http://cerncourier. com/cws/article/ cnl/39599)

 

In Egypt; A lot of huge Enterprise Customers had started the implementation of the FCS and I am talking about Organizations more than 5000 clients..

 

It is really a nice and strong product and the next version Stirling is amazing and it is expected to be release in Q1 2010.

Dear Eman

 

Microsoft Forefront Client Security is very light and easy to be deployed. Also you can find a lot of script that can remove Symantec EndPoint 11 and install FCS instead.

FCS is using WSUS and Microsoft Update Site to update the clients which make the update process very easy to be managed by administrators. Also the FCS gave very nice report about the status of the clients.

 

I am using FCS from more than 2 years and I have tested in many environment and it is working very effectively. The European Organization for Nuclear Research [CERN] had replaced recently the Symantec and use now FCS (URL: http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cnl/39599)

 

In Egypt; A lot of huge Enterprise Customers had started the implementation of the FCS and I am talking about Organizations more than 5000 clients.

 

It is really a nice and strong product and the next version Stirling is amazing and it is expected to be release in Q1 2010.

URL for Microsoft Forefront codename Stirling: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd647498.aspx

 

Thanks and Best Regards

Subject: i-mate shuts down

UAE mobile phone company i-mate has gone out of business, according to market sources.

The company, which mainly sold branded smartphones, has closed its office in Dubai Internet City and founder and CEO Jim Morrison is believed to have left the country.

Staff were told to take compulsory two-month unpaid leave in an e-mail last Wednesday, according to employees, but the next day received information that the operation was closing and found the office locked.

Calls from ITP to i-mate's DIC office and to Morrison have gone unanswered, and the office is shut.

Retail partners of the company have also been told unofficially that it is no longer in business.

i-mate de-listed from the UK AIM stock market in November of last year, after its share price dropped to 0.12 UK pence.

At the time, Morrison told arabianbusiness.com that the company was speaking to two new investors, to finance new products and that the company was also seeking to buy its own manufacturing facilities in China and buy into software development. The company would also seek a new listing, this time on the Dubai stock market.

Morrison blamed the company's drop in share price on short-selling, although increased competition in the smartphone market, especially from the Far Eastern original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that provided i-mate's hardware, and problems with suppliers were believed to have caused problems.

In February, the company launched a new rugged smartphone, the i-mate 810F, to target more niche market segments, although it was the last handset release to date.

Earlier this summer i-mate is understood to have shifted to a new channel model, based on engaging in direct relationships with retailers, rather than going through distribution.

One Middle East retailer which had signed a direct agreement with i-mate said it had not received delivery of a new device that was due to ship and was today told by a purchasing contact from within the company that it had "shut down".

"The inventories for the new model have been sitting with i-mate and we placed a purchase order last month and were waiting for deliveries, but they never came through," said the retailer. "Our buyers have been trying to call them for the last three days, but they kept answering the phone and promising to call back without saying anything. One of my buyers has just asked them if they have shut down and they said yes."

The retailer added: "A new line-up was supposed to be being released in the summer, around August, but it never came out. They were also another two or three really good models that were due to be coming out around December or January onwards, such as a rugged smart phone. They were basically going with niche products in the smart phone segments and trying to expand out to the typical business user and pick up a new audience, which seemed like the right strategy at that stage for them as well."

Another market source said i-mate had been quiet in the market over recent months, raising questions over the future direction of the company.

"We have not heard of them releasing many products in the market so either they have been working on releasing the products or working on exiting the device business. A couple of months back they stopped doing distribution and started taking shelf space directly with many retailers, but all of a sudden it seems to have stopped."

 

i-mate was formed in 2001 in Glasgow, and became a high profile addition to Dubai Internet City in 2003. It listed on the UK AIM market in September 2005, posting profits of $22.5 million in its first year.

The company came to prominence as one of the first vendors of Windows Mobile smartphones, with product distribution throughout the Middle East, US, Asia Pacific and Europe, and offices in the UAE, Australia, Italy, UK, Singapore and the USA.

 

The company's hardware, which included pocket PCs and smart picture frames was all sourced from Far Eastern equipment manufacturers, initially HTC, although this deal ended and the company then worked with a number of different OEMs to source hardware, releasing some 25 Windows Mobile devices in total.
