The Doctor Is in the Office: PC Tools Expands Trusted Spyware Protection to the Enterprise

Market Wire, January, 2006

PC Tools, creator of award-winning spyware removal and real-time protection software, today expanded its product suite to include enterprise-class protection for corporate networks with the launch of Spyware Doctor Enterprise.

The application is founded on the same trusted and award-winning technology of Spyware Doctor's consumer product, which has received numerous professional accolades, including the latest PC Magazine Best of 2005 award for Best Anti-Spyware. Spyware Doctor Enterprise offers the same comprehensive protection against malicious threats through innovative and sophisticated scanning and real-time protection.

Tailored for the corporate environment, Spyware Doctor Enterprise offers a highly scalable and secure client server architecture. Employing an intuitive interface, the Enterprise edition offers quick and efficient set-up, deployment and management of a centralized anti-spyware solution. The application can be set to perform automatic smart updates that update not only the database but also functionality and features to ensure corporate desktops are fully protected without user intervention and minimal configuration from the network administrator. It also assists in lowering total cost of ownership by offering automated scanning and real-time protection for networked computers. Real-time reporting of infected computers on the network, as well as instant email notifications (to the network administrator), ensures threats are detected immediately and provide a secure network at all times.

"Computer users worldwide have trusted Spyware Doctor for years and we are pleased to now bring the same comprehensive and innovative protection to the corporate environment," said Simon Clausen, CEO of PC Tools. "Businesses of all sizes are under attack from spyware and other malware threats undermining corporate security, cutting into IT budgets and diminishing employee productivity. Having an effective and easy-to-use anti-spyware solution installed at the server level is absolutely the most critical step that businesses can take to protect themselves."

Spyware Doctor Enterprise can be downloaded online at www.pctools.com for computers on a corporate network. A free 30-day evaluation license with full functionality is available for an environment supporting up to 250 users.
