Webroot has re-branded its existing product line in this release. Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus and Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition represent the newly branded versions of Webroot SME Security 3.1 and Spy Sweeper® Enterprise 3.0, respectively. Registered customers can upgrade their existing Webroot security solutions to the newly-released versions at no cost.
New and Enhanced Features:
Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus includes new and enhanced features in both its antispyware and antivirus protection:
New Active Directory Integration. Provides customers with the ability to import groups and users into the Webroot management console for ease of client management and installation;
New Sophos Behavioral Genotype Protection. This new feature from Sophos analyzes behavior before code executes, without creating a false positive problem and without deploying separate software. It also provides benefits of a Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) and allows the solution to guard against unknown malware threats;
New Windows Vista Compatibility. The new version is now compatible with Windows Vista. In a competitive analysis, Webroot blocked 100 percent of malware compared to only 16 percent by Windows Vista’s default malware blocking application;
Enhanced Proactive Real-time Threat Protection. Through the use of powerful on-write, on-read, and on-execute Smart Shields, the solution proactively blocks spyware threats during read operations and before files can write or install on the end-user’s workstation. These shields protect the most common threat entry points including changes to system memory, registry entries, host files, startup processes, browser-hijackings and many other security settings; and,
Enhanced Spyware Detection, Trace and Real-time Threat Reports. Additional powerful reporting options provide network administrators the ability to track and report on instances of spyware through updated quarantine, trace detail, single spy and shield event reports. New reports also help justify product efficacy and value.
Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is the latest in a line of acclaimed business solutions, and includes the following features companies have come to expect from Webroot:
Award-Winning Protection. Independent testing by VeriTest determined Webroot to be at least 40 percent more effective in identifying and removing spyware such as Trojans and keyloggers compared to Symantec, McAfee, Trend and Sunbelt Software. Sophos’ antivirus technology has been certified by Virus Bulletin, a leading independent antivirus research company, 38 times since 1998, placing it in the top tier of antivirus protection providers;
Flexible, Centralized Management. Corporate Webroot customers manage both antispyware and antivirus functions from a single web-based management console, making even global administration easier;
Because both the antispyware and antivirus scanning processes are optimized for speed and efficiency, scanning can be initiated in the background or scheduled for after-hours to minimize any impact to desktop performance. This scanning technology allows for desktops to be completely disinfected in a single operation; and,
Scalability. Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is designed to operate on any sized network and protects customers ranging from small- and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises. Because of this scalability, the solution can expand to meet all growing business needs.
