| Barracuda Spyware Firewall Barracuda Networks, Inc. has announced the immediate availability of the Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool, a new ActiveX download included in version 2.0 of its powerful Barracuda Spyware Firewall. This latest enhancement extends the Barracuda Spyware Firewall's ability beyond detection, identification and blocking of spyware at the gateway, to now include removal of malware from previously infected desktop computers. The Barracuda Spyware Firewall effectively monitors all inbound and outbound network activity at the gateway, blocks malware, identifies all infected machines on the network and notifies the administrator. Once infected machines have been found, the new Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool allows administrators to scan for threats on the infected machine and then remove any malware. The Barracuda Spyware Firewall's extensive spyware and virus definition database is updated hourly via Barracuda Energize Updates, ensuring that the Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool is stopping the latest threats. In addition, the Barracuda Spyware Firewall now shows the hostnames of infected machines, rather than just the IP address, when possible. This feature makes it more convenient for administrators to identify which machine is infected so that they can then apply the Spyware Removal Tool to remove the infection. Additional recent enhancements to the Barracuda Spyware Firewall include an application-blocking feature which enables the administrator to determine whether to block or allow certain applications such as, IM, media, tools and update applications. It also includes new reports for the Barracuda Spyware Firewall 610 and Barracuda Spyware Firewall 810 that include top Web surfers by hits and by bandwidth utilized, as well as top Web sites by hits and by bandwidth utilized. Available in five models, the Barracuda Spyware Firewall combines preventative, reactive and proactive measures to form a complete anti-spyware and content filtering solution for businesses of all sizes. Barracuda Spyware Firewall is easily installed and does not require the additional time, money or resources necessary for downloading and maintaining software on each individual PC. The comprehensive feature set enables the Barracuda Spyware Firewall to block spyware downloads, prevent viruses, stop access to spyware Web sites and filter Web content. In addition, the Barracuda Spyware Firewall can identify spyware-infected desktops, alert the administrator and enable users to remove spyware from infected Windows computers with the Barracuda Spyware Removal Tool. Hourly Energize Updates are made automatically by Barracuda Central so that the Barracuda Spyware Firewall can block the ever-changing virus and spyware variants. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
