SmarterMail Adds Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus to Email Security Arsenal

PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
SmarterTools Inc. is proud to announce an agreement with Commtouch to provide
Zero-hour Virus Outbreak Protection with its SmarterMail mail server as an
optional add-on for those users that want to enhance the software`s
out-of-the-box antivirus functionality.

"Hosting providers, enterprises, and small to medium sized businesses bear the
brunt of growing amounts of malicious mail, which can overwhelm their
infrastructure and expose them to unnecessary threats. Now SmarterMail
administrators can extend virus protection measures to include Commtouch`s
Recurrent Pattern Detection technology, which blocks zombie and virus attacks
with superior detection rates and low false positives," said Tim Uzzanti, CEO of
SmarterTools.

Although SmarterMail provides virus protection out-of-the-box, the additional
functionality of the Commtouch add-on will provide customers protection against
email-borne malware in the first critical hours of an outbreak, during the
vulnerable window before traditional antivirus engines have identified the
threat and provided a signature.

"The most effective approach to dealing with viruses, Trojans, worms, zombie
attacks, and other forms of malware is to employ a multi-layered defense
strategy," Uzzanti said. "Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus complements the
traditional AV solutions available in SmarterMail by adding an extra layer of
defense against new outbreaks."

The Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus add-on will be sold in licensing levels that
correspond with the SmarterMail product levels, resulting in yearly
subscriptions that are priced well below competitive solutions.

SmarterMail is the cost-effective Microsoft Exchange alternative, bringing
enterprise-level functionality to businesses, ISPs and Web hosting environments.
Scalable and easy to manage, SmarterMail features a rich Webmail interface;
reporting; events/notifications; throttling; on-board antispam/antivirus;
advanced synchronization with Microsoft Outlook; over-the-air support for
BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile devices; and optional add-ons for
Commtouch Premium Antispam, Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus, and Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync.
