Computer Associates International today announced that eTrust Antivirus r7.1 was named editor's choice in a comparative review of antivirus software by Computer Dealer News (CDN), a leading reseller publication in Canada.
Tested for functionality and impact on system performance against offerings from Grisoft, McAfee, Panda, Symantec, and Trend Micro, eTrust Antivirus r7.1 received the highest score in platform support and tied for first in detection, removal, and ease of installation. Testing in detection and removal was conducted by three leading information security product certification authorities: Virus Bulletin, ICSA Labs, and West Coast Labs.
"Although many people mistakenly perceive antivirus as a commodity market, this award again demonstrates that there are significant differences among antivirus products - and that CA's eTrust Antivirus 7.1 stands out above them all," said Joanne Moretti, general manager, CA Canada. "We're pleased that one of Canada's most respected IT publications has recognized CA's commitment to the advancement of security management and that we have developed the industry's best solution for reducing exposure to malicious code."
Part of CA's acclaimed family of eTrust security management solutions, eTrust Antivirus is designed to help customers successfully fend off the onslaught of viruses, from the smallest offices to the largest enterprises. It eases antivirus administration by providing a single console for managing IT environments, and delivers simplified methods to implement, administer and update virus signatures. CA's eTrust antivirus technology has received ICSA Labs certification and a record 39 Virus Bulletin "VB100%" awards for detecting 100% of viruses "in-the-wild." It is supported by the global CA Security Advisor research centers, which provide vulnerability and configuration research and around-the-clock monitoring and protection against malicious code, spyware/adware and blended threats.
eTrust Antivirus r7.1 is available directly from CA and from authorized CA channel partners in traditional boxed, licensed and OEM/system builder offerings.
