now released from BETA into general availability. BigFix AntiPest incorporates
technology from PestPatrol to clean software pests (Spyware, Adware, Keyloggers,
etc.) from computers with full central management from the BES Console.

<DIV><SPAN class=610534421-22072005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is a
paraphrased description from one of our customers using BigFix
AntiPest:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=610534421-22072005><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>"We were having
a big problem with Spyware on our managed computers. The problems occurred
mainly on the computers where users had administrator access, but we got a
surprising number of helpdesk calls from users who didn't have administrator
access as well. Whenever the helpdesk received a problem that sounded like a
Spyware related issue -- like slow computers, ads popping up, or other
classic Spyware issues -- we dispatched a tech to either run a free
antispyware tool or to re-image the computer, which of course was very expensive
and resource intensive. When we deployed BigFix AntiPest to 5% of our computers
in a trial, we found that over 20% of those computers had some form of Spyware.
We were very surprised to see the Spyware number that high and we found that
many users didn't actually know they had Spyware installed. Based on these
results, we got authorization to immediately push BigFix AntiPest to the full
enterprise and found that a total of 17% of computers had Spyware (many of
which were really nasty keyloggers or hijackers). I was able to hand the full
BES Spyware report to my boss and the security group that same night we pushed
the deploy button in BES. They were really excited to see such a detailed
report with all the names and descriptions of the Spyware. As of now, we are
about 98% Spyware free and we are weeding out the few remaining computers with
various problems."</EM></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
