SUNBELT SOFTWARE
Heather Kelly & Jason Ovitt of S&S Public Rela-
tions were on hand to talk about Sunbelt Software’s
All New Anti-Spyware Solution “CounterSpy”, soft-
ware that aggressively detects and removes spy-
ware and provides broad real-time protection from
future threats.
CounterSpy aggressively scans, detects, and re-
moves a broad range of adware, spyware and
other malware, while providing real-time prevention
to reduce the chance of future spyware infections.
Spyware is an insidious, often devastating nui-
sance for today’s internet users, often causing ma-
chine slowdowns, crashes and even privacy con-
cerns. CounterSpy is designed to be a one-stop
solution to the spyware problem, with an extensive
database of current spyware threats, as well as
real-time protection to reduce the chance of a re-
curring infection on a user’s machine.
A one-year subscription to spyware updates is in-
cluded in the purchase price; reasonably priced an-
nual subscriptions are available thereafter.
CounterSpy works with Windows 98SE/Me/2000/
XP and requires a minimum Internet connection
speed of 28.8 Kbps. Minimum hardware require-
ments Pentium II Processor with 64MB of RAM and
24MB of free hard disk space. Internet Explorer 5.0
