Boston, MA and Galway, Ireland – January 19th 2012. SpamTitan today announced that it has once again performed excellently in the highly respected Virus Bulletin Spam awards. Once again SpamTitan received strong independent endorsement for its highly effective and easy to use anti spam filtering solution with this its’ 14th consecutive virus bulletin award.
This month’s test took place in December and shows how well SpamTitan performed against email threats that were circulating throughout the holiday period. Over this period SpamTitan blocked almost 100% of spam winning one of the top 2 positions for spam catch rate. This is traditionally a very active time for spammers who launch new spam campaigns over the Christmas and New Year holidays, in the hope that they will take longer to be blocked due to fewer IT staff at work.
The Virus Bulletin is an independent global publication specific to the field of viruses and related malware. SpamTitan for this test, runs as a virtual machine under VMware had the highest overall score in the January test last year and has on this occasion once again recorded an excellent result blocking 99.97% of spam and receiving an overall score of 99.46%.
Martijn Grooten, author of the Virus Bulletin Anti-spam comparative review stated that ‘SpamTitan achieved what all products aim to do: it both improved its spam catch rate (in fact, it blocked more spam than all but one other product) and reduced its false positive rate’. “This test validates the market-leading effectiveness of the SpamTitan spam filtering solution. Simply put we catch more spam than anyone else,” said Ronan Kavanagh CEO. These independent test results prove that our hard work is paying off as we see a growing number of new customers moving to SpamTitan from other solutions we know that they are reaping the rewards in terms of having the very best protection from spam and viruses at an extremely competitive price.”
