About Outpost Antivirus Pro (discontinued)

Outpost Antivirus Pro was a security program from Agnitum, a company from St Petersburg known for its Outpost Firewall. The Outpost product line has been discontinued: in December 2015 Yandex acquired Agnitum's technology, all sales of Outpost stopped, and virus-definition updates, bug fixes and support ended on 31 December 2016. Agnitum's website closed in February 2017.

An antivirus without updates cannot protect you against new threats, so Outpost should no longer be used. Avoid copies offered on other websites.

What to use instead

Microsoft Defender – built into Windows 10 and 11, free and always up to date.
AVG AntiVirus Free – a free antivirus for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
SUPERAntiSpyware – an extra anti-malware scanner that works alongside your antivirus.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still buy or update Outpost Antivirus Pro?

No. Sales stopped after Yandex acquired Agnitum's technology in December 2015, and updates and support ended on 31 December 2016.

Is it safe to keep using Outpost?

No. Without virus-definition updates it cannot recognise new threats. Use an up-to-date antivirus instead.

What should I use instead?

Microsoft Defender is built into Windows 10 and 11 for free. AVG AntiVirus Free is another free option, and SUPERAntiSpyware can be added as a second scanner.
