SAN DIEGO — ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced that Nerds On Site has selected ESET as one of its preferred antivirus vendors and has become a new ESET channel partner in the U.S. and Canada. Nerds On Site customers in North American will now have access to ESET NOD32 Antivirus software. Increased demand for innovative online threat protection led to Nerds On Site’s evaluation of new technology to meet customer requirements.

Having tested dozens of competing antivirus solutions in real-world situations, Nerds On Site found ESET NOD32 to be a highly effective anti-threat software in delivering proactive protection against new forms of malware — including viruses, spyware, key loggers, Trojans, phishing attacks and other criminally motivated online threats.

"A nerd wouldn’t be a nerd without the best technology," said David Redekop, co-founder of Nerds On Site. "Nerds On Site prides itself on its superior product offerings and service, and we’re proud to have NOD32 in our arsenal. ESET is proving to be a great partner and meets our requirements for consistently delivering technical excellence in an easy-to-use product."

Nerds On Site provides technology services to individuals and businesses, with hundreds of nerds collaborating and working together to provide its customers with quick and easy access to a complete array of tech services.

"Technology savvy resellers like Nerds On Site are always looking for innovative new solutions to add to their product portfolios and set them apart from other competing solution providers," said Rick Moy, vice president of marketing at ESET. "We’re pleased to welcome such a reliable partner into our family and look forward to ensuring Nerds on Site and its customers have a very positive experience with ESET."

High-performance, low-impact ESET NOD32 Antivirus software offers consumers and businesses comprehensive protection in a product designed to automatically update behind-the-scenes without impacting other applications, so users always have the most current protection available. In addition, ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 2.5 utilizes ThreatSense(R) technology, a sophisticated detection system based on advanced heuristics, to proactively identify previously unknown viruses, Trojans, spyware and phishing attacks in real time. ThreatSense is built into NOD32’s single scanning engine to provide comprehensive protection so users do not need to rely on additional point solutions for spyware and adware protection.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Calyptix Security has successfully identified and blocked a previously unknown and malicious Internet worm from propagating across its network of beta test sites before any of the leading antivirus manufacturers issued an update or removal instructions.

On September 10, 2006, a malicious Internet worm now known as WORM_STRATION.BB was detected by the leading antivirus manufacturers. Once discovered, the companies took up to three days to release a "signature-based" update to their clients who remained vulnerable to attack until receiving and activating the fix. The worm was ranked as having high damage and distribution potential by Trend Micro, an industry leader in Internet security. Using the most recent version of its software, version 1.11, released on July 31, 2006, Calyptix Security was immediately able to identify and quarantine the worm so that no damage could be done to the user’s workstation or the larger network.

Calyptix Security uses new groundbreaking technology known as DyVax(TM), which completely eliminates the critical window of vulnerability between virus discovery and deployment of virus signatures. Instead of creating "signature-based" updates, DyVax employs the industry’s first dynamic filtering technique to achieve true and unparalleled, zero-day threat protection.

Packaged exclusively with Calyptix Security’s AccessEnforcer(TM) brand product line, DyVax has been deployed to filter email traffic, including POP3, SMTP, and IMAP, and is currently being developed to filter traffic on all major communication channels including Instant Messaging, Web, VoIP, and P2P. In laboratory testing, DyVax has proven more successful than the leading commercial and open source antivirus solutions. To date, customer beta sites have not reported any material problems with false positives.

DyVax was developed and refined by Dr. Yuliang Zheng, a leading international authority in cryptography and network security and Dr. Lawrence Teo, a widely published expert in Internet security and open source technology. DyVax was created as a cornerstone for building a scalable, world-wide Internet Defense Force(TM).
