| Webroot's Vista-Compatible Versions of Internet Security Solutions Webroot Software releases Vista-compatible versions of its Internet security solutions to coincide with the public release of the Windows Vista Operating System for consumers. Users of Webroot Spy Sweeper, Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus and Child Safe will be offered free upgrades to the Vista-compatible versions of their software. To further prepare its users for the launch of Vista, Webroot's Threat Research team has been conducting exhaustive research and testing to better educate users on the potentially ineffective blocking capabilities in Windows Defender, the default anti-spyware component of Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. Through this research, Webroot's Threat Research team discovered that Windows Defender failed to block 84 percent of a testing sample-set that included 15 of the most common variations of existing spyware and malware. Developed specifically for consumers seeking an effective, yet easy-to-use program to protect their PCs from the two most damaging types of Internet threats, Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus integrates best-of-breed anti-virus technology from Sophos into Webroot's award-winning line of Spy Sweeper anti-spyware products.
