Aluria--Expanding Spyware Security Efforts
Aluria is a software company that provides millions of consumers
internationally with internet security solutions, such as their
major distribution of spyware security. The company recently
launched anti-spam efforts by incorporating the Mailshell spam
filter in their services provided. The partnership between the
two will allow Aluria to spread the Mailshell SpamComplier SDK
to users across the world. Mailshell executes over one million
filter checks on each email in a fraction of a second to check
if the message contains spam or not.
Mailshell puts together a fast, compact and flexible decision
tree that has an automatically tuning intelligent engine to
produce consistently accurate results from each filter.
Mailshell's SpamComplier can recognize a number of foreign
language spam as well as phishing and other types of email fraud.
Aluria's addition of the Mailshell Spam Complier is said to have
been a natural addition to the company's services. Aluria
already provided excellent anti-spyware protection that, unlike
many spyware tools, catch and blocks from download several
spyware threats before they are able to install themselves. The
real-time protection, known at Aluria as Active Defend Shield,
provides top security for any computer against spyware.
Aluria officials said the Mailshell SpamComplier is another way
for the company to reduce the consequences of spam and spyware.
Officials at Mailshell said it is important for security
purposes to bring together anti-spam and anti-spyware efforts.
Mailshell's SpamComplier is already a leading licensed anti-spam
engine used by thousands of enterprises and millions of
consumers worldwide. The anti-spam software is capable of
handling more than one million message per day and it can be
embedded nearly anywhere.
