Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) today announced that eTrust Antivirus for Microsoft Exchange received SC Magazine`s "Recommended" award for superior detection capabilities and ease of installation.
In an exhaustive review of 11 antivirus solutions for Microsoft Exchange that evaluated the detection rates of all "in-the-wild" viruses from August and October 2001, including polymorphic and macro threats, the magazine said eTrust Antivirus "swept the board" in the detection and disinfection categories.
"Computer Associates can be really proud of its achievements in this year`s round of exhaustive tests," wrote the magazine`s editors. "With 150 viruses of the most determined kind in its path, eTrust not only found them but disinfected them all, sweeping the board to the tune of yet another 100 percent return and providing an impeccable score across the detection and disinfection stakes."
eTrust Antivirus was also cited for its comprehensive features and bulletproof virus protection, with strong enterprise management capabilities including centralized event logging and alerting. The magazine added that the installation and configuration of eTrust Antivirus "is kept simple and is wizard-based, making the process both less time consuming and positively easy."

"The SC Magazine honor is proof that CA`s eTrust Antivirus offers Microsoft Exchange users an extremely effective defense against the diverse threats that can be concealed inside seemingly innocuous email messages."
