Deliver Exceptional Desktop Protection from Spyware,
Hackers and Malicious Code
Red Bank, NJ – June 2, 2005
– Privacyware, an innovative provider of advanced threat
prevention and security data analysis solutions, today
announced the integration of Computer Associates
International, Inc.’s (CA) eTrust PestPatrol
Anti-Spyware technology with Privatefirewall 4.0, the
latest licensing option of its powerful, affordable, and
easy-to-use Personal Firewall and Desktop Protection
software.
With the inclusion of CA’s
spyware knowledgebase and detection and removal
technology, Privacyware’s desktop security solution
provides an immediate and complete defense between the
Internet and the PC that helps keep hackers, malware,
and spyware from damaging computing systems and
accessing private information. Privatefirewall,
automatically, hides unused ports, assigns rules for
commonly used applications, and thoroughly inspects
inbound and outbound traffic to identify and disable
malicious or unauthorized connections.
“While businesses of all
sizes recognize that they have to protect their IT
environments at all levels from a wide range of threats,
the cost and complexity of doing so is a major concern,”
said Sam Curry, vice president of eTrust security
management at CA. “By enhancing Privatefirewall with
CA’s state-of-the-art spyware protection technology,
Privacyware’s single, easy-to-administer solution
provides both enhanced protection and reduced total cost
of ownership.”
