Our rigorous testing confirmed that Commtouch's Zero-Hour virus protection is superior to any other proactive approach. The company's anti-spam technology, which relies on outbreak detection rather than on content analysis, blocks Asian spam better than any other method. quote bottom

Success Stories

Today's viruses, worms and Trojans target the primary weakness in anti-virus technology: the time it takes for new signatures or heuristics to be developed and distributed. Commtouch Zero-Hour™ Virus Outbreak Protection SDK shields  in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks, and right through as new variants emerge.

Enterprise Benefits
