Well-known anti-spyware pioneer Lavasoft today announced the global release of Ad-Aware Business Edition Internet Security, the latest version of its flagship security product that offers businesses of all sizes protection against network corruption and data intrusion with enhanced anti-malware technology and manageability features.

The new version of Ad-Aware Business Edition meets the needs of today's organizations fighting against sophisticated cyber threats by bolstering its security solution with the addition of Lavasoft's Genotype detection technology – defending corporate data from unknown and emerging threats - as well as manageability improvements for easy and adaptable control. Designed with a highly scalable management console, Ad-Aware Business Edition provides comprehensive endpoint protection that adapts to individual requirements and load environments – from small businesses with 25 workstations up to large enterprises with over 100,000 client machines.

“Ad-Aware Business Edition combines all of the advanced anti-malware features and efficiency of the Ad-Aware Pro version's core engine with a central management tool that allows IT administrators to centrally manage and protect the security of all network workstations – giving businesses large and small an easy-to-use solution that proactively defends against viruses, spyware, rootkits and other malicious threats to corporate data,” says Johnny Widerlund, Senior Technologies Director at Lavasoft.

Functionality and enhancements of Ad-Aware Business Edition include: advanced, real-time online protection against viruses, spyware, rootkits, and blended malware, the layered protection of Genotype detection technology and behavior-based heuristical detection to find and block unknown and emerging attacks, centralized, flexible client management allowing the IT admin to manage policies and tasks, and easy installation and deployment of new clients – including the option to use standard Windows Active Directory.
