InterMute to Fight Spyware and Malware
in Motorola Wireless Networking Devices
Security Suite Protects Wireless Home Users From Spyware, Adware and Spam
BRAINTREE, MA — April 18, 2005 — InterMute Inc., a leading developer of best-in-class PC protection and productivity solutions for corporations and consumers, today announced that extended trial versions of its Subtract® product suite are included with Motorola’s Wireless G series of routers and adapters for home and small-office users. Now Motorola customers can protect their PCs from spyware and other forms of malware with SpySubtract PRO, which was recently rated five stars by Network World for its ability to detect and remove spyware.
InterMute’s award-winning SpySubtract PRO finds and removes hidden spyware on PCs. Also included are AdSubtract®, a best-selling popup and Web ad blocker, and SpamSubtract, which stops unwanted junk email. All three extended trial versions are also highlighted on Motorola’s Web site in the Broadband and Home Entertainment/Home Networking section at http://broadband.motorola.com/consumers/products/wr850gp/. For a quick, free scan to detect spyware on PCs, consumers can visit http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/free_spyware_scan.html.
“Together with Motorola, InterMute gives consumers the security of knowing their home network is protected,“ said Ed English, CEO of InterMute. “Spyware can easily sneak onto a PC and monitor users’ actions as they surf the Web, often without their knowledge. Spyware can collect personal information, such as credit card numbers or passwords. With best-of-breed PC security solutions like InterMute’s SpySubtract PRO for anti-spyware, Motorola’s customers are safeguarded from having their browsers reconfigured and their keystrokes monitored, so their confidential information remains confidential.”
Industry studies show that 80% of home PCs are already infected with spyware that drags down performance and opens the door to computer crime. InterMute’s Internet security suite protects against the most tenacious and difficult-to-remove Internet threats. Moreover, by removing spyware and adware, InterMute’s software improves the performance of home PCs. The suite includes SpySubtract PRO, which not only detects and removes spyware, but also actively protects PCs and laptops by stopping spyware from being installed in the first place. One of its core technologies is CWShredder™, which is widely known as the most effective tool to eradicate CoolWebSearch. This browser hijacker is one of the most elusive and tenacious forms of spyware.
Motorola’s 802.11g wireless home networking products, which include wireless routers, access points and adapters, are available in retail outlets nationwide and from www.motorola.com.
