The Cleaner 3.0 Released ... Now Includes Background Scanning! Portland, Oregon... October 19, 1999 -- For Immediate Release MooSoft Development is proud to announce version 3.0 of its award-winning software, The Cleaner. Completely rewritten and redesigned, version 3.0 now includes background scanning of all activity in memory; a faster, redesigned scan engine (about 100 files per second); a newer, tougher, Trojan fingerprinting process; scanning inside compressed archives; and a completely redesigned Interface (GUI). Objective tests have shown that The Cleaner 3.0 blows the competition away -- both in speed of scans and in number of Trojans found: http://www.moosoft.com/tc3vsav.html Users can install the program, update it regularly, and leave their Trojan worries behind.
TCActive! PROVIDES BACKGROUND SCANNING: "We're very proud to offer TCActive! to our customers," said Daniel Otis-Vigil, Chief Software Engineer for MooSoft Development. "We've been working hard on this for the past six months ... we've integrated TCActive with The Cleaner's improved scan engine and it's redefined Trojan fingerprinting process. We studied the competition before we built version 3.0, and the result is absolutely the best Trojan scanner on the market."
THE CLEANER 3.0 BEATS THE COMPETITION: Why does the Cleaner 3.0 detect more Trojans? First, The Cleaner's fingerprinting process is unmatched by any other program on the market. It is easy to make minor variations to a Trojan file to "fool" the competitors, but The Cleaner's copywritten fingerprinting process stops Trojans cold. Second, MooSoft development is extremely well connected in the anti-Trojan community. When a new Trojan appears on Internet, it will get picked up and sent to MooSoft quickly through one of its many formal and informal reporting channels. As soon as Trojans are received, the response team quickly analyzes and integrates them into the Trojan Definitions file. On the face of the main window of The Cleaner 3.0, there is a button that checks the MooSoft Servers for available updates. Users simply press that button, and The Cleaner 3.0 automatically updates the Trojan definitions file and the program itself. Currently, The Cleaner 3.0 detects more than 700 known Trojans and variations, and more are added on constantly. "If a new Trojan is out there, we'll find it fast ... we can usually get it analyzed, tested, and incorporated into our definition files within a few days," said Otis-Vigil. MooSoft Development is a privately held company in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As new threats to Internet security continue to evolve, Trojan Horses and "Worms" are continuing to receive major press on the large news sites.
