Immunet: Lightweight Protection with a Community Feel
Immunet offers efficient cloud-based antivirus protection that combines speed and community intelligence for enhanced security, but may lack some advanced features found in more comprehensive solutions.
Immunet is an antivirus program developed by Sourcefire, Inc. that utilizes cloud-based protection to defend against malware and other cyber threats. The program is designed to work alongside other security solutions and provide an additional layer of defense.
Immunet features real-time protection using a combination of cloud-based and local scanning procedures. It also includes social networking protection to identify any suspicious links or messages from social media accounts, as well as email scanning for common email clients like Outlook and Thunderbird. The program is easy to use with a user-friendly interface that can be accessed via desktop or mobile devices.
Another unique feature of Immunet is its Community Protection Network (CPN), which allows users to share information about new attacks in real-time. Once a threat is identified, CPN quickly uploads the required information to the cloud where users can access it and receive timely updates on how to prevent an attack.
Immunet is a valuable addition to any security suite. Its cloud-based protection provides an extra layer of defense against cyber threats and its intuitive design makes it easy for users to navigate and protect their devices.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
