Sunbelt Software Wins Network Computing's Well-Connected Award for Best Antispyware; CounterSpy Enterprise Recognized as Offering the Industry's Top Antispyware Solution for the Enterprise.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Sunbelt Software, a leading provider of Windows security software, announced today that CMP Media LLC's Network Computing magazine has awarded CounterSpy Enterprise with its 2006 Well-Connected Award for Best Antispyware in its Security category. The Well-Connected award honors outstanding technology products featured in head-to-head product evaluations conducted by the publication during the past year, and builds upon CounterSpy Enterprise being named its Editor's Choice in an antispyware comparison over Webroot, Trend Micro, McAfee, FSecure, Lavasoft, and Computer Associates.

Evaluated in a comparative real-world review, CounterSpy Enterprise earned top marks for its impressive spyware detection and removal, best reporting functionality and all-around excellent performance.

"The Well-Connected Awards are unique because they're the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world use and integration. We view all products, technologies and services from the same perspective as our readers -- our peers -- do," said John Siefert, publisher of Network Computing. "This is an important distinction from any other award program -- the products selected in the Well Connected Awards have been tested in an actual business environment and judged by our editors themselves. They are truly innovative solutions that work -- and we have the metrics to prove it."

"Given its all-around excellent performance, we expected CounterSpy Enterprise to be expensive," noted Christopher Beers, Technology Editor for CMP Media LLC's Network Computing, in the publication's September issue. "Instead, at just $11 per user in our scenario, CounterSpy is one of the most aggressively priced antispyware products on the market."
