New Double Anti-Spy Professional Software from Avanquest Provides PC Protection Plus Performance

Avanquest Software, a global leader in PC security and tune-up software, today announced the launch of Double Anti-Spy™ Professional. This new software combines two leading anti-spyware engines to deliver more effective protection against some of the most malicious computer threats. Double Anti-Spy Professional uses both traditional anti-spyware and cutting-edge anti-malware technologies that enable it to respond more effectively to mutating and aggressive spyware, eliminating the need to run multiple security programs on a computer.

The new software is a comprehensive solution to protect PCs from the evolving malware environment without a significant impact on computer usage or performance. The software’s proprietary double scan technology provides 24/7 spyware protection and thorough search and removal tools to deliver complete protection against malware.

AV-Test, a third-party service provider for security testing with more than 15 years of experience in anti-virus and data security research, found Double Anti-Spy Professional to have the highest spyware detection rates in a head-to-head comparison with leading retail anti-spyware software.

Double Anti-Spy Professional features Sunbelt Software’s top-rated VIPRE® anti-malware technology to detect and remove the most deeply rooted malware, spyware and malicious programs on today’s computers. The software is also fully integrated with Windows 7 Security Center.

“Double Anti-Spy’s behavior-based recognition of malware actively protects against new threats that traditional solutions may not identify, providing continuous PC protection,” said Roger Politis, Avanquest Software’s chief technology officer. “For the most comprehensive protection, many computer experts recommend running more than one anti-spy engine to achieve maximum detection. Double Anti-Spy offers exactly that solution, in a single optimized package.”

Double Anti-Spy Professional is available for $29.95 for one license or $39.95 for 3 licenses. The software is carried by leading software retailers throughout North America and is available for download or box purchase at www.doubleantispy.com.

Double Anti-Spy Professional is for Windows XP, Vista and 7. Its low price and easy-to-use features make Double Anti-Spy Professional a cost-effective solution for both home users and small businesses.
