Centralized spyware eradication.

Centralized spyware eradication, deployed in more than 3,000 U.S. organizations!

Sunbelt Software creates system admin tools "by admins for admins". Spyware has rapidly become the #1 IT Security Headache. Spyware is worse and a more insidious problem than viruses. You need centralized antispyware management as an essential element of your layered security posture. The existing (enterprise) antispyware tools on the market are still lacking: 1) not even close to what an admin really needs, and/or 2) no single product detects all spyware, you all use two or three of them, often time-consuming stand-alone freeware.
and 3) antispyware products from antivirus vendors alone aren't cutting it.

With the above observations in mind, Sunbelt Software decided to design a true second generation enterprise-ready product from the ground up that gets you everything you need. We also added something unique to solve the second problem: CounterSpy has the best spyware database in the industry, confirmed by the August 2005 issue of PC World. (The consumer and enterprise versions share the same spyware threat database).

As an enterprise administrator you need information about the activities of antispyware software on your networks. You need real-time protection. You must have a mechanism for notification when threats are detected or actions are taken. You must have a comprehensive reporting system that will make it easy to provide documentation for your own use and for keeping management informed and justifying budget expenditures.

CounterSpy Enterprise provides you what you need. CounterSpy Enterprise is a powerful centralized policy-based second generation product that allows you to detect, delete and protect against over 35 categories of malware. The spyware threat database is updated from multiple sources including Sunbelt's own CounterSpy Research Team, the hundreds of thousands of people that participate in Sunbelt's ThreatNet community of opt-in users, and last but not least, Sunbelt receives new spyware definitions from Microsoft. No other antispyware product can claim that! The Press loves it. CounterSpy Enterprise wins all the reviews.

With these above two observations in mind, SunBelt Sofware decided to design a true enterprise-ready product from the ground up that gets you everything you need. We also added something unique to solve the second problem: ThreatNet.

The Spyware Threat Has Exploded

Spyware has become the new headache for IT. Systems become rapidly infected and regularly come to a grinding halt. System Admins are often forced to physically go to the end-user and manually run two or three spyware removal tools to get rid of these threats to corporate data. Organized cybercrime can steal personal employee information or worse, user names and passwords as a vector to hack into your organization and run their "cyber extortion" racket.

The Solution - A Worldwide Detection Network: ThreatNet

The only way we can fight this new spyware plague is to band together and create a worldwide detection network that sends outbreak information back to Sunbelt's spyware research center in real time. This team tests and updates the Counterspy threat database on a very regular basis. ThreatNet allows spyware to be found faster, fixes to be coded, validated, and downloaded to Counterspy Enterprise users. You told us what you needed and we built it for you! Here is where you can submit potential threats: the Sunbelt Spyware Research Center.

Powerful Centralized Spyware Management

Counterspy Enterprise allows you to create policies and assign machines to that policy via Active Directory, your network neighborhood or by IP address. From a single admin console you control the automatic silent push install of the agent (Counterspy also supports WMI deployment), scheduling, and threat database updates for just a few dozen, hundreds or thousands of machines to protect your entire network from over 30 categories of spyware. The agent will be available as an "MSI" file (but also as an .exe) that you can install via login scripts, deploy with SMS or WMI, Add to a Group Policy or let the end user install via a web page.

Anti-Virus Companies Are Not Cutting It

Recent stats show the spyware problem is exploding. In a survey held September 2004, system administrators said spyware had become 100% worse compared to 2003. Why? There is (lots of) money to be made in spyware, both in 'legit' use but even more in criminal exploitation. Anti-virus companies make a feeble attempt to counter this problem but the fact is that their code was not initially built to remove spyware, and this is definitely noticeable. There is only one rule regarding viruses: "Keep em out". To get rid of spyware, much more sophisticated code is required. McAfee continues with a very poor showing, and Symantec does a lot of talking but is not shipping anything yet. Can you trust your networks to vaporware?

Your Organizational Challenge

Controlling rapidly spreading spyware is hard. Preventing reinfection is even harder! Spyware comes in at least 36 different categories varying from simple tracking cookies, to more annoying adware to potentially disastrous remote access trojans. You need a tool to create flexible spyware policies for different user groups, then scan for and enforce these policies for each workstation.

The Answer is Counterspy Enterprise

Designed 'by admins for admins', it has what you need to make enterprise spyware protection easy and accurate. Easy install, excellent policy-based GUI, good reporting, many ways to deploy the agent and transparency. You always know what Counterspy is doing, and you get detailed logs showing the acivity on each workstation. There is no other anti-spyware tool out there that was built from the ground up "enterprise first" and "consumer second". Just look at the other products and you will see they were consumer products retooled for the enterprise. Not so for Counterspy Enterprise.

The consumer version of Counterspy received the "PC World Best Buy Award" in the April 2005 Issue: "Counterspy had the highest detection rate in our tests. The most effective scanner--CounterSpy--was also the fastest, taking only a minute to perform a complete scan of a system with 2.7GB of data. Sunbelt Software's Counterspy proved the most capable of the bunch, finding and stopping 93 percent of all the running processes created by our 45 test programs.

What is The Future of CounterSpy Enterprise?

Many of you have asked us "what's the future of CounterSpy Enterprise"? The answer is simple: Everything. CounterSpy Enterprise is the first step in a full desktop security strategy that will be unrolling this year. What you see right now in CounterSpy Enterprise is a method of restoring spyware infected systems. In July 2005 we released a version with real-time spyware protection on the desktop. This upgrade will be available for free for customers under maintenance. Then, late 2005, we are going to add antivirus and firewall capability, for a full security solution. These additional features will be available at a small additional fee, but will certainly be cost-competitive with the existing AV and desktop firewall solutions available.

How Much Spyware Is In Your Network?

Download the 30-day eval version. You can immediately deploy and scan 5 machines. One of our account reps can send you a key to unlock the eval for an unlimited amount of PC's so you can run a report on how bad the situation is. You can use that report as ammo to get your purchase requisition approved. Our Sales Engineers and Tech Support team are ready to answer any of your questions, and you can also check the items in the Knowledge Base (see link on the left side of this page) if you have questions.
