Collective Intelligence

As of version 6.0 (2012), a feature known as Collective Intelligence was introduced into the product with the use of a back-end server technology known as the Element Software Network or ESNet. This technology, when enabled in the product, collects suspicious files and sends its statistics using MD5 patterns to a central database where they can be reviewed commonly. Due to privacy concerns, however, it is disabled by default. With this technology, a 'trace' can be made on malware origins and can flag commonly found malicious software on a client machine via a World Map.[7]

Network Intrusion Prevention

As of version 6.0 (2012), a personal firewall solution and Network Topology analysis software was introduced into the product along with a packet tracer and analyzer for further administrative use.[8]

Future

As confirmed on the company's Twitter account and re-launched website, Solution9 from StraySpark will be replacing Element Anti-Virus and will be one of the first anti-malware solutions to use a hypervisor by means of security on a real operating environment.

gollark: The server is called Illuminations, so Illuminati works as a denonym.
gollark: Indeed.
gollark: As someone who uses the internet, it worries me that so much bandwidth on major internet links is probably just used shuffling people's data around so they can watch region locked content or since they were fearmongered into thinking it was necessary.
