Sunbelt Software Rebrands Ninja Email Security

PRESS RELEASE

CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunbelt Software, a leading provider of Windows security software, today announced the availability of VIPRE Email Security for Exchange Version 3.0. Previously named Ninja Email Security(TM), VIPRE for Exchange includes Sunbelt's next-generation VIPRE antivirus scanning engine.

This announcement marks the first in a series of rebranding efforts and new product releases that will fall under Sunbelt's VIPRE anti-malware product line, with integrated offerings that include the company's full line of email security, antivirus, and endpoint protection products for enterprise and consumer customers.

VIPRE for Exchange leverages the scanning engine from Sunbelt's VIPRE endpoint security products. The engine is a comprehensive anti-malware engine that merges the detection of all types of malware into a single, efficient, and powerful system.

"VIPRE for Exchange provides a robust defense against a variety of email threats without compromising Exchange server stability and performance."
