| Product Name: | VirusBarrier |
| Product Description: San Francisco, CA, January 9, 2001 Intego, a leading provider of Macintosh Internet security utilities, today announced VirusBarrier 1.5, a new version of its acclaimed antivirus program for Macintosh. VirusBarrier provides protection against all known viruses on the Macintosh, and also protects against Word and Excel macro viruses. It offers thorough protection against viruses of all types, coming from infected files or applications, whether on floppy disks, CD-ROMs, removable media, or on files downloaded over the Internet or other types of networks. | |
VirusBarrier was designed so that, once it is installed and configured, the user does not have to do anything unless a virus is detected, no false positive alerts, and no need to disable VirusBarrier when installing other software. The VirusBarrier philosophy can be summed up in three words: simple, fast and nonintrusive. VirusBarrier works in the background and alerts the user if any viruses are detected.
VirusBarrier 1.5 also supports the new version of Intego's NetUpdate, the automatic software update engine. Users can program updates for specific days and times, and NetUpdate will check the Intego server to find out if updates are available for all of Intego's Barrier products installed on your computer.
Intego's programs have received many awards in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, such as awards from Macworld, MacHome, MacNN, MacAddict. In France, UniversMacWorld recently gave NetBarrier their 2000 trophy for the best Internet program.
"The virus threat is real. More and more viruses are being discovered every day," said Laurent Marteau, CEO, Intego. "This is even more of a problem today, in our wired world, where people exchange files daily via e-mail. VirusBarrier is your insurance against all kinds of viruses it watches over your computer so you don't have to worry about them."
New VirusBarrier features include:
Simple, fast, and nonintrusive
Scans compressed file, checks all types of archives recognized by Stuf-fit Expander (Zip, CompactPro, DiskDoubler, tar, BZip, arc, etc.)
Turbo Mode makes scanning from 5 to 40 times faster
Contextual Menu module for quick scanning
Self-protection ensures that VirusBarrier doesn't get infected
Scans RAM after detection of system viruses
Faster manual scans
Compatible with Mac OS 9.1

And ContentBarrier, Intego's new parental control program, has been available to reinforce its product line since January 2001.
Intego was founded in May 1999 by a collection of highly motivated engineers and high-profile marketing, finance, and sales managers to leverage their extensive knowledge of network security and the Mac environment to corporate, individual and educational users worldwide.

| Product Name: | VirusScan TC |
| Product Description: As the Internet becomes the hub of an increasing number of business transactions, and users especially mobile users depend on network availability to perform mission-critical functions, bandwidth becomes essential resource for IT to manage. And in a circular scenario, this trend leads to a lack of available bandwidth. VirusScan TC (Thin Client) not only requires less bandwidth to deploy and manage than any other antivirus solution on the market today, but it intelligently uses the little bandwidth it does require. Working in concert with McAfee's ePolicy Orchestrator, which sets the standard for enterprise antivirus management, VirusScan TC allows you to centrally update, configure, manage, and gather information about your entire network, while minimizing the bandwidth impact to your network. | |
Because ePolicy Orchestrator uses standard protocols to communicate between the desktop and the server (secured HTTP), managing remote sites across the Internet is a breeze. Got an office in Australia, but no VPN connectivity between here and there? Using ePolicy Orchestrator and VirusScan TC you're still secure. Remote users who dial in for e-mail and become frustrated with their antivirus protection because it took a long time to download updates will forget they ever had a problem once VirusScan TC is installed. Not only will they have the quicker download speed of VirusScan TC's incremental update technology, but they will have the peace of mind that secured agent-server communication provides.

| Product Name: | PestPatrol |
| Product Description: PestPatrol detects and can delete any malicious nonvirus software found on PCs. Everyone knows what a virus scanner is and what it does. What people don't realize is that there is a wide variety of malicious software that can be more harmful than viruses, and are not being detected by your antivirus software. | |
"Pests" represent a whole new category of things that threaten the stability and integrity of your computer or network. You may not have been aware that these threats exist. Wouldn't you be surprised to find files containing information about hacking your PBX, password cracking, mail bombing, or a variety of hacker tools on your network or even on your own computer?
Where do these pests come from?
In some instances, these pests can be planted on your machine by hackers. Such things as Trojans, worms, or hostile applets are among the most common items that arrive from the "outside." Other items can be brought into your network, knowingly or unknowingly, by your own employees.
In any event, as a webmaster or system administrator, you should be aware that they exist and that they can be a source of disruption.
Some pests can cause a great deal of damage, and some can live on your machine without you even knowing about them. There are thousands of pests and new ones are found each day and added to SaferSite's PestPatrol database. You should be as rigorous about scanning for pests as you are about scanning for viruses.
There are dozens of categories of pests, including: worms, Trojans, spyware, hacker toolkits, and password crackers.
With such a large variety of pests out there, doesn't it make sense to protect your network? PestPatrol only needs a few minutes to identify unwanted pests on your entire network. PestPatrol can also be updated in seconds to detect new pests as soon as they are discovered.
