Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise Wins SC Magazine18 January 2006
Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise, the industry s leading anti-spyware protection software created and distributed by Webroot Software Inc., has been awarded SC Magazine s ‘Best Buy Award . The award was announced after an extensive roundup of the industry s top 12 anti-spyware applications, the results of which will be published online and are included in the January edition of SC Magazine.
The group test evaluated the products features, ease of use, performance, documentation, support and value for money. Spy Sweeper Enterprise version 2.5 was flawless and demonstrated outstanding performance across the board. The Enterprise version achieved the highest group test rating– receiving 28 out of 30 possible points - and was recognized for its rich features, ease of use and value for money.
"This product combines the excellent detection tools of Spy Sweeper Enterprise with a new management front end, Admin Console, a Java based application used to control how you deal with spyware over the entire network. With excellent protection and enterprise – worthy management console, Spy Sweeper Enterprise has the protection you need," said SC Magazine in the January 2006 issue anti-spyware roundup. SC Magazine s final verdict said, "One of the best management interfaces on test. Its scanning and removal is excellent, so it is a good proposition for all networks."
Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5 is designed specifically to proactively protect users from the most malicious types of spyware including trojans, keyloggers, system monitors and other potentially unwanted software programs. The Enterprise version is powered by Smart Shields, the industry s most advanced real-time blocking technology, and Phileas™ – Webroot s own automated spyware research system designed specifically to root out and identify spyware anywhere on the web.
Furthermore, the test underlined the fact that Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5 is the only anti-spyware solution with the capabilities to detect and remove the most insidious spyware threats, including CoolWebSearch (CWS), Look2Me, Elitebar and Istbar. Webroot s Spy Sweeper Enterprise also maintains an extremely low false positive rate – approximately 1:1,000,000 – assuring its users that no essential system operations applications or data required for normal PC function is being removed.
"We are thrilled that SC Magazine has recognized Spy Sweeper as a ‘Best Buy anti-spyware solution for enterprises," said David Moll, CEO of Webroot. "Webroot is committed to not only providing users with the best protection against the most malicious forms of spyware, but also educating them on its damaging effects. We commend SC Magazine for sharing this vision and providing their readers with such an in-depth analysis of the spyware problem and the best way to protect against it."
