PC Tools Releases Enterprise Grade Anti-Spyware for Free

PC Tools, a provider of anti-spyware security software, has announced that it is offering a free Enterprise Edition of its software to companies, in a bid to establish a mark in corporate environment.

The PC Tools Spyware Doctor Enterprise software is available for free for up to 500 seats per company. The New Spyware Doctor 4.0 free version includes enterprise management features, including Windows Defender.

The company said version 4.0 builds on identifying and closing the gaps created by the subtle changes in the way that spyware threats attempt to infiltrate a users PC during a computer's startup process.

Spyware Doctor has also extended its own defenses to further protect itself from malicious software that attempt to terminate and manipulate well known anti-spyware applications. With these new defenses, Spyware Doctor prevents such threats from compromising its anti-spyware effectiveness and therefore maintaining the security-level of the PC.

PC Tools' CEO Simon Clausen said, "With Malware threats evolving as quickly as ever, it is imperative that we not only respond to threats but are preemptive in the fight. The new feature set of Spyware Doctor version 4.0 continues to put it well ahead of the competition -- and it's a real testament to our research and development teams that Spyware Doctor continues to lead the industry against Malware."

Other features in Spyware Doctor Version 4.0 include:

• Windows System Restore Point option - another first for Anti Spyware software
• Detection & removal of malicious cookies in Mozilla Firefox
• Detection & removal of Unicode filenames or folders
