Aluria--expanding Spyware Security Efforts
By Mitch Johnson
Aluria is a software company that provides millions of consumers internationally with internet security solutions, such as their major distribution of spyware security. The company recently launched anti-spam efforts by incorporating the Mailshell spam filter in their services provided. The partnership between the two will allow Aluria to spread the Mailshell SpamComplier SDK to users across the world. Mailshell executes over one million filter checks on each email in a fraction of a second to check if the message contains spam or not.

Mailshell puts together a fast, compact and flexible decision tree that has an automatically tuning intelligent engine to produce consistently accurate results from each filter. Mailshell's SpamComplier can recognize a number of foreign language spam as well as phishing and other types of email fraud.

Aluria's addition of the Mailshell Spam Complier is said to have been a natural addition to the company's services. Aluria already provided excellent anti-spyware protection that, unlike many spyware tools, catch and blocks from download several spyware threats before they are able to install themselves. The real-time protection,

known at Aluria as Active Defend Shield, provides top security for any computer against spyware.

Aluria officials said the Mailshell SpamComplier is another way for the company to reduce the consequences of spam and spyware. Officials at Mailshell said it is important for security purposes to bring together anti-spam and anti-spyware efforts. Mailshell's SpamComplier is already a leading licensed anti-spam engine used by thousands of enterprises and millions of consumers worldwide. The anti-spam software is capable of handling more than one million message per day and it can be embedded nearly anywhere.
