Boulder, Colo. — Webroot Software, Inc., a leading provider of security software for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, announced today that Spy Sweeper® Enterprise 3.0 was named “Best Anti-Malware Solution” in the Reader’s Trust category which follows winning the "Best Anti-Spyware of 2006" awarded in December by the editors of SC Magazine. The winners were announced yesterday at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.

“Being recognized by SC Magazine as the leading solution provider in this category is a valuable testament of our commitment to develop and provide customers with the most advanced protection against malware,” said Peter Watkins, CEO of Webroot Software, who received the award for the company. “Even today, many Enterprise IT professionals still debate the need for a ‘best-of-breed’ approach to stopping malicious software while the rate of online fraud and data theft continues its dramatic rise.”

Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 is the first corporate anti-spyware solution to employ kernel level driver protection to detect and remove evolving malware. Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 also includes real-time Smart Shields for additional proactive blocking protection, improved deployment across a large number of networked systems, and a redesigned user interface.

“As we witness more and more incidents of data theft and exposure, it becomes obvious that our IT security practitioners and companies that support them are critical in today’s business world,” says SC Magazine Editor-in-Chief Illena Armstrong.

As the leading information security awards program, the SC Magazine Awards showcase the best products, services and professionals in the industry. Reader’s Trust Award winners were selected by the publication’s 9,000 readers. In total, nearly 400 entries were submitted in nine technology categories.
