The awards were announced in the May issue of each publication, and can be viewed at http://www.redmondmag.com and http://informationsecurity.techtarget.com, respectively.

According to contributing editors Ed Skoudis and Tom Liston at Information Security Magazine, McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise "was a clear leader across the board, with solid enterprise management, strong detection capabilities and resistance to attack." McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise uses McAfee's award- winning anti-spyware technology to secure businesses from potentially unwanted programs such as spyware, adware and keyloggers. In the review, McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise received an "A" in five of the eight test categories, an "A-" in one and an overall grade of "A-". The categories included Enterprise Management/Policy Definition and Grouping, Controlling Interaction with Users, Reporting, Alternate Data Streams (ADS) Detection, Signature Based Detection and Real Time Detection. No competing product received an overall grade of higher than C+ in the test.

Redmond Magazine's Reader's Choice Awards are comprised of 40 categories with winners selected based on reader votes and editor deliberations. McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise, with close to 18% of the votes, was selected as the best in its category.

"Our readers deal with spyware, hackers, integration issues, patch management and regulatory compliance issues every day, so we looked to them to identify the products that help keep their systems and networks running smoothly," said Lafe Low, executive editor for Redmond Magazine. "McAfee AntiSpyware Enterprise was the clear choice for our readers, and an important day-to-day tool that helps them keep spyware at bay."
