Bratislava, Slovakia (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- ESET, a global provider of security software for enterprises and consumers, today announced the integration of Mailshell's email reputation, anti-spam and anti-phishing engine into its award-winning Eset Smart Security 3.0.

ESET customers will join more then 6,000 companies and 15 million consumers relying on "Powered by Mailshell" products to protect them from spammers and phishers.

In a recent review, PC Magazine called the 'Powered by Mailshell' spam filtering within Eset Smart Security "clever" and "impressive."

"ESET's strength has always been its superior technology so we conducted exhaustive evaluations of several technologies before landing on Mailshell," said Miroslav Trnka, managing director of Eset. "Our customers and channel partners always rely on us to ensure that our technology meets and exceeds competitive standards and benchmarks."

ESET Smart Security 3.0 is based on ESET NOD32 Antivirus, which protects customers from viruses, worms, spyware, and all Internet threats; it now also blocks spam and includes personal firewall.

ThreatSense is built into NOD32's single scanning engine to provide comprehensive protection so users do not need to rely on additional point solutions for spyware and adware protection.
