Webroot SME Security is now Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus.

While the name has changed, the product's effectiveness has not. Spyware protection will continued to be powered by Webroot's award-winning Spy Sweeper technology, with the antivirus engine provided by industry pioneer Sophos™.

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is a new Internet security solution designed to protect businesses of all sizes from harmful spyware, viruses, and malware attacks. An effective, yet easy-to-use solution, Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus combines Webroot's award-winning antispyware protection with powerful best-of-breed antivirus protection from Sophos. The result is a new standard of protection that offers superior value and ensures business continuity and productivity.

AntiVirus Detection Powered by Sophos™

Webroot's antivirus detection is powered by Sophos, known globally as a pioneer and industry leader in the fight against viruses. Webroot is known as the industry leader in anti-spyware protection. Together you have the best protection possible against both spyware and viruses.

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus 3.5 (formerly Webroot SME Security) has been updated to include the following new features:

New Active Directory Integration for Simplified Network Installation and Deployment

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus now includes integrated Active Directory support providing the ability to import groups and users into the Webroot management console for ease of client management and installation.

Enhanced Proactive Real-time Threat Protection Capabilities

Through the use of powerful on-write, on-read, and on-execute Smart Shields, Webroot 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.

Enhanced Powerful Spyware Detection, Trace and Real-Time Threat Reports

Additional powerful reporting options will provide network administrators ability to track and report on instances of spyware through updated quarantine, trace detail, single spy and shield event reports. New reports will help justify product efficacy and value.

New Sophos Behavioral Genotype Protection

Sophos Behavioral Genotype Protection guards against unknown malware threats by analyzing behavior before code executes, without creating a false positive problem and without deploying separate software. Provides benefits of a Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS).

New Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is Windows Vista™ Compatible

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is now compatible with Windows Vista. While Vista does offer some security enhancements, the default malware blocking application does not adequately protect you. In a competitive analysis, Webroot blocked 100% of malware compared to only 16% by Windows Vista. Security is a full-time job that should not be left to a part-time security company. Rest assured you are fully protected on Vista as long as you have Webroot.

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus is the most effective combined antispyware and antivirus solution available. Highlighted features include:

Easy Configuration and Deployment

Webroot AntiSpyware Corporate Edition with AntiVirus installs quickly and easily with no additional configuration required during setup to enable antispyware and antivirus functionality. The antivirus component is enabled by default but can be disabled from the same menu as other antispyware control features.

Up-to-date Protection

Updates for spyware definitions are sent out daily. Virus definitions are released multiple times per day as they are received from Sophos.

Automatic and Flexible Reporting Options

Standard reports identify all antispyware and antivirus results to give network administrators a quick view of the overall health of their network systems.

Antispyware Protection Powered by Webroot's Award-winning Spy Sweeper Technology

Independent testing of Webroot vs. Symantec, McAfee, Trend, and Sunbelt Software demonstrates Webroot to be at least 40% more effective in identifying and removing serious spyware such as trojans and keyloggers. VeriTest Report: 2006/2007.

Industry Leading Antivirus Detection Powered by Sophos™

Webroot's antivirus detection is powered by Sophos, known globally as a pioneer and industry leader in the fight against viruses. In recent independent testing, Sophos' antivirus solution has been consistently rated as effective as, or better than, the industry leaders' solutions (VB 100).

Flexible, Centralized Management

Manage both antispyware and antivirus functions from a single web-based management console. No need to set up and maintain two management utilities.

Minimal Impact on Desktop Performance

Both the antispwyare and antivirus scanning processes are optimized for speed and efficiency. Scanning can be initiated in the background or after hours to minimize any impact to desktop performance. Desktops can be completely disinfected in a single operation.

Top Rated Antispyware and Antivirus by Independent Reviewers

Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise was recently awarded "Best Anti-Malware Solution" for 2007 by SC Magazine while Sophos' antivirus technology has been certified by Virus Bulletin, a leading independent antivirus research company, 37 times since 1998 placing it in the top tier of antivirus protection providers.

Single Client Desktop Agent

A single agent for managing antispyware and antivirus threats is much easier for a network administrator and preserves precious memory on the user PC. A unified antispyware and antivirus scanning engine allows scans to complete more quickly with less impact to PC performance.
