Reno, NV (July 28, 2008)– Bytware, Inc. today released Lotus Domino support for StandGuard Anti-Virus, part of the latest release of its award-winning virus detection and cleaning solution powered by McAfee.

Lotus Domino continues to grow as the standard for mail on IBM i (IBM Power Systems, System i, iSeries, AS/400 servers), and the requirement to scan mail natively is now, more than ever, a requirement too.

StandGuard Anti-Virus offers native scanning of mail on IBM i, and with this new release has been expanded to include support of Lotus Domino. This new add-on feature gives users the ability to manage, scan, and clean Domino mail and databases residing on IBM servers.

Recognizing the global nature of today’s computing, Bytware is also pleased to announce the availability of Lotus Domino support in Japanese with its Tokyo-based partner Solpac.

“We are very excited to be launching Domino support for StandGuard Anti-Virus in Japan. The ability to do real-time and on-demand scanning of Domino databases (NSF) is something most Japanese Domino customers using IBM i are looking for in this time frame,” said Solpac president Tsutomu Fujita. “And we can now set up and maintain StandGuard Anti-Virus for Domino using the Notes client interface. This is a nice interface which we like. Domino support with StandGuard Anti-Virus is something that is great news for the IBM i users in Japan.”

The Japanese-language interface is available today, and multilingual development will continue with a German-language interface planned for a future release.

StandGuard Anti-Virus Domino features include:

Mail Scanning
Dynamically scans e-mail for viruses and other types of malicious code to protect Domino mail users from receiving infected and potentially harmful e-mail.

Database Scanning
On-demand scanning of Domino databases allows users to detect viruses and malicious code embedded within document attachments and OLE objects.

Quarantine
Moves infected attachments to a quarantine database where an administrator can further investigate their origin and integrity by submitting a sample to McAfee’s AVERT Labs threat center.

Real-time Alerts
Alerts can be configured to notify IT staff when specific events occur, such as when infected messages and documents are detected or when automatic activities take place. These alerts allow administrators to be continually aware of the health and status of the system.

Automatic Updating
The database of virus definitions is automatically updated daily from McAfee’s servers or from specified computers on the local network.

Scheduling
Administrators can schedule automatic database scanning and automatic updating to occur at user-configurable times when activity is low, such as nights and weekends.

Logging
Logs all activity to a central database—including details of infected objects detected during scans and when automatic activities occur—so administrators can maintain an audit trail for investigations and regulatory compliance.

Ease of Management
Remote Domino servers can be configured and managed from a central administration server, reducing the time and effort normally required to manage remote servers. The log database is presented as a consolidated view of all events occurring across multiple servers. In addition to the traditional Notes interface, StandGuard Anti-Virus also provides a browser-based interface for viewing and managing all activities across multiple remote servers.

The Domino support is an optional add-on feature of the base StandGuard Anti-Virus solution for IBM i (i5/OS), Bytware’s native anti-virus solution designed to scan IFS directories for malicious code and perform advanced cleaning and notification procedures on IBM System i, iSeries, and AS/400 servers.

• The latest McAfee engine designed for IBM i.
• Scanning within compressed, packed, and OLE files.
• Decompression and scanning of files compressed in packages such as PKZIP, .LHA, .ARJ, .CHM, etc.
