Boston, Galway, July 2, 2010 – SpamTitan today announced that it has achieved its 5th Virus bulletin award outperforming many competitors in the highly respected Virus Bulletin Spam awards. Not only did SpamTitan have a very high overall spam catch rate, it was one of the 3 solutions with the highest Spam Catch rate for image spam. As a result of this performance SpamTitan earns the much coveted Virus Bulletin Award and again receives strong independent endorsement for its highly effective and easy to use spam filtering solution.
This is Spamtitans fifth time to enter the virus bulletin test which this month has been the largest test to date comparing 23 other competing products. The Virus Bulletin is an independent global publication specific to the field of viruses and related malware. Over the past number of years, spam has grown from a mere nuisance to business users into a major field of criminal activity, the consequences of not blocking this spam can have very damaging consequences.
Martijn Grooten, author of the Virus Bulletin Anti-spam comparative review stated that ‘Unlike most other products, SpamTitan has few problems with the ‘new Ham’ that was introduced to the previous test. A significantly higher spam catch rate means the product wins its fifth VBSpam award with an improved final score’.
“This test once again validates the quality of the SpamTitan spam filtering solution, we have managed to improve on previous scores and has once again been awarded a very high final score,” said Ronan Kavanagh CEO. “When our customers choose SpamTitan they do not have to choose between catching a large volume of spam or having a low volume of false positives, with SpamTitan they get both. We are seeing a growing number of new customers moving from other solutions, the clear message we are hearing is that once customers deploy SpamTitan they are see an immediate and dramatic reduction in the level of spam. These independent test results prove that our hard work is paying off and our customers are reaping the rewards in terms of having the very best protection from spam and viruses at an extremely competitive price.
