Radialpoint Internet Security Services 8.0 Receives ICSA Labs’ Desktop/Server Anti-Virus Detection Certification on Windows Vista 64-bit

MONTREAL, CANADA – July 21, 2009 – Radialpoint, the leading provider of ISP-delivered, managed IT services and support for the digital home, has announced that Radialpoint Internet Security Services 8.0 (RPS) has been tested and certified in Desktop/Server Anti-Virus Detection on Windows Vista 64-bit by ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon Business. RPS is an all-in-one home PC security solution designed to create value and new revenue streams for ISPs. The award-winning software features virus protection, spyware protection, behaviour-based Malware detection, firewall and fraud protection services. Additional services include Parental Controls, PC Optimizer, Pop-Up/Ad Blocker, Privacy Manager, Backup and Wi-Fi Security.

“Radialpoint Internet Security Services 8.0 has passed ICSA Labs’ comprehensive testing process to earn its Anti-Virus Desktop/Server Detection certification with flying colours,” said Andrew Hayter, Anti-Malcode Program Manager. “This is an essential certification for any product or service in the security software industry as thousands of businesses and consumers around the world look to ICSA as an authority for information on selecting the best anti-virus products and vendors.”

To earn this ICSA Labs certification, security products and services need to successfully demonstrate their ability to prevent end users from becoming infected by in-the-wild and other computer viruses during a rigorous testing process. They must also be able to effectively protect individual desktops, laptops and/or servers of residential users and organizations from self-replicating malicious code infection. Anti-Virus products receiving the ICSA Labs certification have the capability to: detect viruses on-demand, detect and prevent the replication of viruses on-access, report no false positives and log every virus detected.

“The ICSA Labs certification verifies the effectiveness and reliability of Radialpoint Internet Security Services and further reinforces the value of RPS to our Internet Service Provider customers,” said Marty Algire, Vice-President of Products at Radialpoint. “This is an important third party validation that puts our services a cut above the rest when it comes to providing premium online protection and support."

In order to provide an ongoing read on the protective quality of any certified products, ICSA Labs continuously tests and retests for compliance with its criteria. Subsequent releases and upgrades for any certified product must be re-tested to meet the same criteria.
