Trend Micro's Anti-Spyware 3.0 and AntiSpyware for Small and Medium Businesses and Aluria Software's Paladin are recent product releases that give users more choices in desktop anti-spyware protection solutions. Paladin is for Windows and is managed via Windows 2003-based server software for reporting and also for distribution of new anti-spyware signatures. Aluria (a division of Earthlink), which competes with Computer Associates International (CA), McAfee, Webroot Software, and others, offers corporate anti-spyware software. Aluria's package is provided free to AOL users and has a few corporate customers, including BankOne, District of Columbia Clerk of County Courts, and the University of Wisconsin. With Paladin, up to 8,000 desktops can be managed. Aluria also has under development another product that will improve remote management of desktops across different locations. Trend Micro has spelled out an anti-spyware product blueprint for consumers, small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), and signature distribution. Trend Micro will make available Anti-Spyware 3.0, which is a consumer product for detection of adware, keyloggers, and other monitoring software that had been under development by InterMute, a Trend Micro acquisition. For the corporate market, Trend Micro will offer AntiSpyware for Small and Medium Businesses, and for more mixed computing environments with more than 1,000 desktops and servers with more heterogeneous environments.
