The leading anti-virus, anti-spam and content security solution provider, MicroWorld Technologies, today released a new version of its one-click anti-virus utility - MWAV, compatible with Windows Vista as well as 64-bit operating systems.
"On one hand, Windows Vista attempts to tighten protection against viruses and other intruders, but on the other, it does throw some challenges for security firms in providing in-depth security for computers running on this operating system," said Govind Rammurthy, CEO of MicroWorld Technologies.
"Now, with this new version of MWAV, users can comprehensively scan and clean their Vista machines of all sorts of malicious programs."
The PatchGuard feature in the 64-bit mode of Windows Vista, that restricts external access to the kernel, and the compulsory digital signature for modules at kernel level, are some hurdles that Windows Vista poses for security firms in providing advanced protection for end-users.
However, MicroWorld will soon release Vista-compatible versions of its range of all anti-virus, content security and firewall products.
The new MWAV Toolkit provides an all-out security scan for information systems, by detecting and cleaning 52 different types of malware, ranging from viruses, worms, trojans and rootkits, to nukers, porn diallers, adware and spyware.
With its ability to sniff out any program that's suspicious or risky in nature, one can be sure that all harmful programs are flushed out of the computer by running the utility.
"We are currently offering 'MWAV Scan and Clean' free, as part of our new year festivities. Its simplicity of use, high scanning-speed and comprehensive protection, have made it quite the rage among many home and office users, and we are getting a flood of requests for the software.
"I'm sure this Vista-compatible version will just add to these volumes," observed Sunil Kripalani, VP, Global Sales and Marketing, MicroWorld Technologies.
The four key ranges of security products offered by MicroWorld Technologies are: eScan, MailScan, X-Spam and eConceal.
The eScan range of products gives real-time anti-virus and content security for enterprises as well as home users, combining reactive and proactive technologies.
MailScan works as a powerful anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-phishing solution for mail servers, and scans all internal and external mail traffic that flows through the mail gateway.
The firewall solution from MicroWorld - eConceal - empowers you with a multi-layered intrusion detection and prevention system, with application-level filtering, packet-level filtering and stealth mode.
