Enigma Software Group, Inc. Announces the Availability of Adorons Easy Security: A Free Tool to Protect Against Spyware NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Oct. 7, 2004 -- Enigma Software Group, Inc., a diversified technology and services company that creates and develops Internet Privacy Protection and Computer Security Software & Applications for Internet users, today announced that its latest product, Adorons Easy Security, is now available for download. This application was built to address security and privacy issues which go beyond spyware removal and to set a concrete example of "best practices" within the software industry.In recent months, spyware has become so pervasive that many feel that the only way to protect themselves from infection is to purchase two computers: one computer for general web surfing and an additional computer dedicated to conduct banking, online purchases, and other sensitive transactions. The motivation behind this logic is that when one browses the web, visiting new and unknown sites, the chances of being hijacked by a malicious site increase dramatically. In these times of uncertainty, Enigma Software Group has unveiled a new solution to the Internet world, empowering users with a product that allows them to take control of the computer that they already own. The release of Adorons Easy Security allows Enigma to provide Internet users with a simple control to protect their PCs from being hijacked by malicious spyware. Adorons Easy Security simplifies the management of browser security zones by allowing users to place new, unknown, and questionable websites in a high-security "Restricted" zone. Websites that the user deems highly reputable can be placed in a "Trusted" zone, enabling unlimited interaction. Adorons Easy Security provides users with one simple control, directly integrated into their browser, allowing them to instantly change settings as they move from site to site. Adorons Easy Security allows the user to build a custom database of individual website security settings, or to simply use the security slider control to set their preferred level of security as they surf. In addition to security features, Adorons Easy Security also incorporates powerful privacy features. As a user traverses the Internet, all types of files are stored in their computer. These files include: browsing history, pictures, cached web pages, previous searches, and drop down history. This compromises individual privacy, as anyone with access to the computer can examine these files and easily see which websites all users of the computer have visited, and what documents they have viewed. Adorons Easy Security provides the user with a few simple buttons, directly integrated into the browser, which will allow the user to completely eradicate these traces with just one click. After cleaning out a computer with Adorons Easy Security, it's as if it never went online at all. Enigma has also incorporated the technology of the Enigma Pop-up blocker into Adorons Easy Security, offering free refuge from the proliferation of popup advertising that plagues today's Internet. This product is distributed free of charge at www.adorons.com. It was developed for two reasons. Firstly, Adorons Easy Security was developed to address privacy concerns voiced by Enigma's existing users. Secondly, Enigma wanted to set an example of best practices and send a message to those who develop advertising-supported software. Enigma believes that companies that develop useful and innovative products will naturally retain the support of their users. Enigma has noticed too many software companies in the search business that are tricking people into downloading applications through browser hijacking and other surreptitious tactics. These companies also intentionally design their software to be difficult or impossible to manually uninstall. At Enigma, we believe in giving the user control. A software company should not need to trick users into installing a product, and should not create a product that is unnecessarily difficult to remove. If a product is good, users will want to keep it. Adorons Easy Security incorporates a search box which points back to Adorons.com, where Enigma has implemented its own unique and constantly expanding search algorithm. Enigma continues to welcome feedback on its new product line. Please contact Enigma Software Group through their website, at www.enigmasoftwaregroup.com, with any questions, comments or suggestions.
