Security Advisor Icon

Radialpoint’s Security Advisor is a web-based diagnostic tool that allows your Internet subscribers to quickly check how secure their PC is from online threats. Specifically, Security Advisor checks to see if basic security software (anti-virus, firewall anti-spyware) is missing, duplicated, or expired. Once the brief diagnosis is complete, Security Advisor calculates a rating and presents a set of immediately actionable recommendations including a direct link to your security services.

Convert your security complacent consumers into new subscribers by demonstrating their lack of protection on one hand, with a solution ready in the other.
