Features and Benefits
- Real-Time Alerts. When pests are found, CA Anti-Spyware generates an alert, logs the event and lets you remove the pests from your computer or network in real-time. It allows the definition of 'safe lists' and files can be added to an exclude list for individual users or by department to help prevent false alarms.
- Automated Pest Updates. Automated updates are pushed to your desktops with new pest definition files that provide protection against the most current security risks.
- Deployment for any sized organization. CA Anti-Spyware is built upon a redundant multi-tier architecture that scales to manage large populations of users from a single management console.
- Central Logging and Reporting. Pest detection reports are consolidated for improved management and problem isolation. Reports can be created based on workstation, date/time, security risk priority and pest category, or on specific pests to assist with risk evaluation.
- Improved PC and System Performance. By detecting and thoroughly removing spyware, CA Anti-Spyware helps increase productivity and eliminates wasted bandwidth, allowing you to put focus back on business-related issues. For example, one computer compromised by as little as two adware applications could take more than 14 minutes to boot. Assuming that your employees reboot their computers daily and work five days a week for 50 weeks, every employee with a compromised machine could lose nearly 60 hours a year simply waiting for his or her computer to start.
