PolicyB
Policy creation is straightforward. Policies include the
usual choices found in antivirus/antispyware, firewall
and behavior monitoring applications. There are also
settings to secure wireless connections and client privileges.
The default scanning policies provide real-time
scanning for incoming and outgoing traffic, automatic
cleaning for infected files and deletion for malicious
code that cannot be otherwise disabled.
Logging & ReportingB-
WFBS can automatically generate a variety of useful
reports aimed at IT and management. For instance, we
were able to provide statistical analysis of security events
for a security administrator as well as content filtering
reports, informing managers which employees attempted
to visit prohibited websites or send/receive inappropriate
email.
The Outbreak Defense menu logged detailed information
regarding infections and cleanups. Potential
vulnerabilities based upon known threats were also
identified. To quickly find a specific event or type of
events, WFBS includes a Log Query screen that allows
results to be exported to a CSV or text file.

be effectively handled by an administrator
or small IT department.
The Live Status menu let us view the health of our
environment through color-coded buttons for specific
threats as well as clients requiring updated agents.
WFBS effectively scanned and protected all of our
servers and client machines from a multitude of common
threats, including viruses, spyware/adware, spam, infected
URLs, phishing and malicious Java and ActiveX applets.
Using only the default settings, WFBS provided
adequate security for messaging. The only problems
we encountered were with large and compressed files
that appeared to hang up the system.
We found the Web Repudiation feature that scans Web
pages for malicious code prior to being displayed particularly
useful in preventative network and system health.
WFBS also includes a basic firewall,which is adequate
for use with mobile laptops.
Verdict
WFBS is an easy and affordable way for smaller
organizations to cover all security bases.
Testing methodology: We tested Worry-Free Business Security on
Windows Small Business and Exchange servers connected to a variety of
Microsoft Windows endpoints, including desktops and wireless laptops.
