Are there ‘number of user' limitations with Standard and Premium UTM packs?
Yes. The Licensed numbers of users for various products is shown in the chart overleaf. If you need to attach more users, contact Equiinet for costs.
My ISP checks for viruses – why should I run Anti-Virus on a NetPilot?
ISPs cannot check for HTTP browser-borne viruses or emails between colleagues on the same site, nor email from additional ISP accounts you may have – whereas NetPilot can! Furthermore, most ISPs don't check for spyware and none check for intrusions.
What is the Software Upgrade Service subscription?
Users who do not subscribe to any UTM pack, nor subscribe to any other applicable support service, should subscribe to a Software Upgrade license to obtain latest operating system updates.
How does UTM Premium block spyware?
Firstly, it uses URL filtering to ensure you don't browse sites that are known to infect PCs. Secondly, NetPilot stores identities of Spyware and blocks them in the same way it blocks viruses. The databases of Spyware and Virus identities are updated automatically by NetPilot.
