SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., February 22,
2005 Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage
management solutions, announced major upgrades with the release of
Acronis Privacy Expert Suite 8.0. The new version, which begins
shipping ___, includes the proactive real time anti-spyware
protection; ability to scan selected folders or disks; the ability
to prevent a hidden program on a computer to log the user's key
strokes; and automatic updates.
"Identity theft and financial fraud are becoming
epidemic", wrote Avivah Litan, vice president and research director
in Gartner Research, and Ray Wagner, research vice president in the
Gartner Information Security Strategies group, in a 2004 report
entitled "The Growing Threat of Online Attacks on Consumers".
Although these kinds of crimes have been around for ages, the
Internet has provided criminals with a wide variety of new, online
methods for swindling unsuspecting victims.
Gartner, in fact, has produced several reports
recently on user's online security. "It isn't only phishing that
endangers online consumer security. Malicious software can download
programs that enable criminals to record the keystrokes on user's
computers", Litan, Wagner, and Richard Stiennon wrote in a report
entitled "Emerging Solutions Prevent Keyboard Logging Attacks" that
examined methods for reducing the effect of keyboard loggers.
"Spyware is among the most destructive
applications that can be introduced to a system", said Max
Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis. "Having a proactive method of defeating
it before it damages a user's system is a most effective way of
protecting your personal information".
"Additionally, providing users with a value add
security tools like file Shredder, Drive Cleanser, Internet
Cleanup, System Cleanup, Applications Traces Cleanup, Pop-up
Blocker, and Paging File Cleaner, makes Acronis Privacy Expert
Suite the most comprehensive and must have Internet and system
security solution."
"Last year, PC Magazine saw fit to honor Acronis
Privacy Expert Suite 7.0 with its Editor's Choice Award", said
Stephen Lawton, Acronis director of marketing. "This year we've
improved many of the program's key features and added several new
capabilities, further ensuring that user information remains
private. With the addition of proactive monitoring and shielding of
key system resources, plus the ability to shred files individually
or in bulk, Acronis Privacy Expert Suite 8.0 now becomes the
leading anti-spyware solution on the market and has the entire
toolbox to complement your antivirus and firewall software."
