CA has declared that it is providing virus and spyware protection for corporate customers and consumers using the new Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
CA Threat Manager, CA Anti-Virus and CA Anti-Spyware for Windows Vista have been in beta testing release since June. They are also being used by Microsoft in its own enterprise environment to help safeguard Windows Vista resources.
Ben Fathi, corporate vice president, Security Technology Unit at Microsoft Corp, said, "CA has been a great Windows Vista partner and we are pleased to have their solutions available to our customers for Windows Vista.
Partners play a vital role in helping secure the computing ecosystem and CA has developed innovative solutions with their Threat Manager, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware products that work with the Windows Vista platform to help protect that ecosystem."
CA's corporate solutions will be available to corporate customers in nine languages. Existing corporate customers with current maintenance agreements will be able to upgrade to Windows Vista-supported versions of CA Threat Manager, CA Anti-Virus and CA Anti-Spyware at no cost, since CA does not license the software by platform.
Similarly, current home and home office users of CA security software-including CA Internet Security Suite, CA Anti-Virus, CA Anti-Spyware, CA Anti-Spam and CA Personal Firewall - will also be able to upgrade to Windows Vista-supported versions of those products at no cost.
Sam Curry, vice president of security management at CA, said, "CA has taken the steps necessary to ensure that our business and home users can migrate without skipping a beat. This continues our unbroken decades-long commitment to timely support of our customers' platforms of choice."
