Akrutosync

I am considering using a product called Akrutosync that syncs outlook to multiple device types.   Has this product been known to introduce malware, or is it particularly susceptible to malware, or is it, in fact, malware

Yes, it's a legitimate program, but ........

After a few successful syncs, it failed to synchronize.  After a great deal of back and forth with their online support, the "answer" given was that I had to disable my Norton firewall in order to make it work.

As this is a program that, in its default state, is always on, this means that you give up security full-time.  So I am uninstalling it and looking for another solution.

That's a legitimate software. To be 100% sure that there's no malware, download programs from official websites.

Here's a link for Akruto: http://www.akruto.com/free-trial/

Hi, Lorraine. It's a legitimate product, and has a few good reviews.

If there are any issues with the download, Norton will flag them anyway.

You can also right click on the file to scan it before you install.
