FRISK Software International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FRISK Software International (FSI), is an Icelandic software company that develops F-Prot antivirus and F-Prot AVES antivirus and antispam service[1]. Its name is derived from the initial letters of the personal name and patronymic of Friðrik Skúlason, its founder. The company was founded in 1993[1].
F-Prot Antivirus is sold in both home and corporate packages, of which there are editions for Windows, Linux, and BSD. There is also a DOS version for home users, and corporate versions exist for Microsoft Exchange, Solaris, and certain IBM eServers.[2][3] F-Prot has been produced since 1989[4].
F-Prot AVES is for corporate users[5].
The company has also produced a program called Espólín, a genealogy program[6], and Púki, a spellchecker with additional features[7].
FRISK Software International should not be confused with F-Secure, another data security company, although they are historically related. (At one time, F -Secure used FRISK's F-Prot anti-virus search engine for their anti-virus product.)
