Webroot Releases Next Generation Anti-Spyware Protection For
The Enterprise Market
Incorporation of Comprehensive Removal Technology (CRT)
Bolsters Launch of Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5
BOULDER, Colo., August 22, 2005 - Webroot Software, Inc., the
leading provider of anti-spyware software and other
security technologies for
consumer and enterprise markets, today launched the next
generation of its enterprise-class, centrally managed
anti-spyware solution. Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5, which is
designed specifically to protect
businesses of all sizes from the
most malicious types of spyware, is the first corporate
anti-spyware solution to protect enterprises with the use of
Webroot's Comprehensive Removal Technology (CRT), the most
advanced spyware removal technology in the industry.
CRT uses adaptive recognition practices to remove processes,
applications or files that may have changed during the remediation
process or may not have been previously detected. The unique
technology completely disables spyware programs detected on a
system PC, rendering them ineffective. Using CRT, Spy Sweeper
Enterprise 2.5 assures system stability during and after the
spyware removal process. Additionally, CRT generates an extremely
low false positive rate - approximately 1:1,000,000 - a critical
element for enterprises who cannot risk the possibility of removing
essential system operations applications or data.

we have witnessed the damage that a single piece of malicious
spyware can inflict on a corporation," said C. David Moll, CEO of
Webroot Software. "The ability of an anti-spyware solution to
block, detect and fully remove each piece of spyware has become
essential for securing an enterprise's property and welfare. By
adding CRT to our anti-spyware arsenal, Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5
becomes the only corporate anti-spyware solution to effectively
detect and remove the most malicious pieces of spyware."

updating spyware definitions at least twice a week. Spy Sweeper
Enterprise 2.5 also offers disk sweeps that are now five to 10

requiring lower CPU utilization, as well as a safe mode option.
