PlumChoice Techs Now Armed with Behavior-Based Primary Response SafeConnect to Combat Bots, Trojans, Rootkits and Other Malicious Software

SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Making further progress in the battle against computer malware, Sana Security, Inc., the leading behavioral security software company, today announced an agreement with remote PC services leader PlumChoice (www.plumchoice.com) to help rid home and small office users' PCs of bots, Trojans, rootkits and other malicious software. PlumChoice's technicians will use the latest version of Sana's flagship Primary Response SafeConnect to eliminate malware infections as part of their Spyware & Virus Removal remote service option, as well as recommend other Sana products to their customers for continuous protection against both known and unknown malware.

"Putting our advanced malware detection and removal technology in the hands of PlumChoice's support experts offers a compelling solution to the malware problem, speeding the 'search and destroy' of even the most complex and stealthy malware from customers' machines and preventing it from returning," said Don Listwin, CEO for Sana Security.

"As the pace of malware development continues to speed, we look forward to working with Sana to protect our customers and offer the industry's best line of defense against bots and other malware threats."
