FRISK Software International was an Icelandic software company that developed F-Prot antivirus and F-Prot AVES antivirus and anti-spam service. 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. It was acquired by Commtouch (now known as CYREN) in 2012.
Frisk Software competes in the antivirus industry against Avira, ESET, F-Secure, Kaspersky, McAfee, Panda Security, Sophos and Symantec among others.
F-Prot Antivirus is one of the oldest antivirus products since its creation in 1989. It was the world's first with a heuristic engine. It is sold in both home and corporate packages, of which there are editions for Windows, Linux, and BSD. There are corporate versions for Microsoft Exchange, Solaris, and certain IBM eServers. The Linux and BSD versions are available to home users free of charge, with virus definition updates. Free 30-day trial versions for other platforms can be downloaded.
F-Prot AVES is specifically targeted towards corporate users.
The company has also produced a genealogy program called Espólín and Púki, a spellchecker with additional features.
