The service has been created in collaboration with IKARUS Security Software GmbH, an Austrian antivirus software developer.

According to the company, A1 INTERNET SECURITY is a centrally-managed application that can detect and block viruses, trojans and spyware. When users visit a website affected by viruses, they receive an instant alert from A1, which makes sure they never get in touch with the affected data. In addition, the solution includes a client software for the protection of the computer, which offers a full scan of e-mails, hard disk and other data carriers on an ongoing basis and, when required, activates the firewall of the Windows operating system. The solution also features automatic and free-of-charge updates.

The registration has failed. The registration can be done later. Please establish an internet connection via your usb-modem, datacard or mobile phone to the A1 net an press Update.

Hm, I'm from Austria and a A1 mobil phone customer.
