Information security solutions provider Kaspersky Lab has announced that it is supplying its anti-virus technology to UK ISP Telewest Broadband to be used by its consumer internet division, blueyonder.

According to the company, Telewest will be using Kaspersky Lab's anti-virus technology to scan all incoming and outgoing e-mails to protect over 900,000 residential customers from the threat of e-mail-borne viruses.

Telewest selected the anti-virus solution from Kaspersky Lab because of its high detection rate and quick updates to the virus signature databases, said the director of product strategy at Telewest.

No financial details of the agreement were disclosed.
