Usuários da América On-line receberão novas ferramentas antispyware, segundo um comunicado oficial do provedor. A AOL está unindo a atual tecnologia fornecida pela Aluria Software com softwares da Computer Associates, segundo um representante da companhia.
A mudança surgiu após a Earthlink, rival da AOL, decidir comprar a Aluria, o que fez a AOL realizar a atualização antes da negociação, segundo o representante. O novo AOL Spyware Protection 2.0 reconhece mais de 28 mil spywares, adwares e trojans. A tecnologia de varredura é baseada no software antispyware da Computer Associates, PestPatrol.
America Online users will start receiving new anti-spyware tools on Wednesday, the Internet service provider said in a statement. AOL is swapping out the current technology provided by Aluria Software with software from Computer Associates, a company representative said.
The change comes after AOL rival EarthLink said it had agreed to acquire Aluria, though AOL had decided to change before the takeover, the representative said. The new AOL Spyware Protection 2.0 scans for more than 28,000 known types of spyware, adware, keystroke loggers and Trojan horses, AOL said. Different types of scans are carried by the software, which is based on CA's eTrust PestPatrol.
