Orange first to offer new and existing home broadband customers premium online security protection for free
All Orange home broadband customers to receive 12 months McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012 + Parental Controls software, worth £49.99* without charge
Customers can secure up to three PCs with the new security software package, ensuring protection outside as well as inside the home
New parental controls help provide customers with more choice, simplicity and control over their children’s internet surfing
Orange today announced it is to become the first home broadband provider to offer all its customers free anti-virus and parental control software. From the 15th October, both new and existing customers across all of Orange’s home broadband plans will be able to install McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2012 with additional Parental Control software on up to three home computers or laptops – at no extra cost.
Orange has partnered with McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security technology company, to not only offer all Orange home broadband customers premium virus and identity protection, but also parental control software to tackle issues such as cyber-bullying and management of children’s online activity.** The software will be free for all home broadband customers for the first 12 months, after which they can either cancel the service or continue to receive it for half price on the second year.
This exclusive security protection includes:
Anti-virus, Anti-spyware and Anti-phishing
Defence against malicious software, often disguised as harmless games or images
Prevention of unsolicited popup advertisements and having online activity monitored
Protection from fraudulent emails pretending to be from trustworthy individuals or businesses
2-way Firewall
Prevention of hackers and other unwanted intruders from gaining computer access
Defence against malicious programs stealing sensitive data without permission
Parental Controls Module
Protects children from the dangers of the Internet
Lets parents manage how each child can communicate online
Includes simple to use child-specific settings for web pages, chat filtering, objectionable word filtering and online time limits
The software will be available for customers to install directly on their computers, and as it will not be just network embedded, allows them to continue to remain protected, even if they’re using their laptop outside of their home.
Sylvain Thevenot, Marketing Director, Orange Home said: “We believe that our customers need a complete online security solution that is simple to install and understand, so they can use it both when they’re in the home and when they’re on the move with their laptops. As a result, we’re pleased to be the first home broadband provider to offer all of our customers, irrespective of their package, access to award-winning protection software for free. It’s yet another good reason why Orange really does provide the best all round value broadband in the UK”
Orange was awarded Best Corporate Social Responsibility Broadband Provider in 2010 by the Internet Services Providers' Association, the UK's Trade Association for providers of Internet services. The company was also awarded Most Improved Service Provider in 2011 by Broadbandchoices.co.uk as well as received the highest ISP customer service satisfaction in the industry according to Ofcom in July 2011.
More details on the free home broadband security package will be made available on www.orange.co.uk/broadband from the 15th October.
