Integrated solution for real-time virus 
and spyware protection 
Forefront Client Security is built on 
technology already deployed by 
millions of people worldwide. It uses the 
Windows
®
 Filter Manager, Microsoft’s 
prescribed scanning platform by which 
security vendors can apply “mini-fi lter” 
technology to scan malware in real time.  
By using “mini-fi lter” technology with 
the Windows Filter Manager, Forefront 
Client Security scans viruses, spyware, 
and other fi les before they run, thus 
providing effective protection against 
blended threats while minimizing end-
user disruption.
Includes advanced malware protection 
technologies
The anti-malware engine includes 
advanced detection technologies such as 
static analysis, emulation, heuristics, and 
tunneling to identify malware and protect 
the system.  As threats become more 
complex, it is important to ensure not 
only that the system is clean, but also that 
the system is functioning after removal 
of malware.  The anti-malware engine 
in Forefront Client Security includes 
advanced cleaning technology that helps 
bring the machine back to a restored 
state after malware has been removed.  
Backed by global malware research and 
response organization
The Microsoft Malware Protection Center 
is a global malware research and response 
organization providing comprehensive 
24x7 support.  Microsoft’s team of 
experienced malware researchers and 
Microsoft security technologists combines 
insights on the malware landscape from 
a broad range of sources with automated 
analysis techniques and integrated 
processes to deliver rapid response 
to threats.

through central management, so you can 
effi ciently protect your business.  With

Defi ne one policy to manage client 
agent protection settings
Forefront Client Security helps increase 
your effi ciency through a single policy 
that confi gures the anti-spyware, anti-
virus and state assessment technologies

signatures effectively

or download security agents directly from 
Microsoft Update and distribute them 
to individual machines using Windows 
Server
®
 Update Services (WSUS).  
Roaming users can be confi gured to 
failover directly to Microsoft Update for
