Protecting Corporations From Growing Threat Of Spyware And Adware
Deerfield.com Now Offers Spy Sweeper Enterprise™, Centrally-managed Spyware Removal Software

GAYLORD, MI — February 7, 2005 — Deerfield.com, an international provider of security and messaging software, announced today the availability of Webroot Spy Sweeper™ Enterprise, a centrally-managed, comprehensive spyware and adware solution for corporations. Using a client / server architecture, Spy Sweeper™ Enterprise proactively detects and removes all forms of spyware, adware and other unwanted software programs across corporate networks.

Despite the use of firewall and antiviral technologies, spyware and adware are now infiltrating corporate networks, slowing performance on networks and PC’s, and putting private and corporate information at risk. And like Internet security threats that have come before it, the growing threat of spyware has raised serious productivity and security concerns for small to medium businesses and enterprise organizations alike.

“To date, effective anti spyware has been limited to singly-licensed desktop versions—a less than ideal solution for corporate IT managers forced to install and configure the software on every computer on their network,” said Mike Deerfield, Chief Executive Officer of Deerfield.com. “Spy Sweeper Enterprise eliminates that IT burden, providing network and security administrators the ability to manage spyware detection, removal and prevention via a single administrative console,” Deerfield explained. “Voted PC Magazine’s Best of 2004, this solution is ‘best in class’ software that meets one of the fastest growing security needs I’ve seen in some time.”

Webroot Spy Sweeper™ Enterprise features:

  • Centralized management via the admin console
  • Manual or automated deployment of definition updates and product upgrades
  • Advanced desktop-level protection with Active Shields to prevent new infections.
  • Customizable protection and security policies
  • Definition updates and sweep schedule retention for laptop and mobile users while away from network
  • Fully customizable reporting
  • Most comprehensive detection and elimination of spyware, adware and other unwanted programs available

Pricing and Availability

Webroot Spy Sweeper™ Enterprise licenses range from a 10-user license, priced at $320.00 US to a 1000-user license for $17,980.00 US.
