Extends E-mail Spam Protection to the French and Chinese Markets

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cloudmark, Inc., the global leader in carrier-grade messaging infrastructure and security solutions, today announced that its acclaimed anti-spam software solution Cloudmark DesktopOne has been localized for the French and Chinese markets. Cloudmark DesktopOne is the industry's most accurate and easy-to-use free anti-spam software for consumers and small businesses. The lightweight Cloudmark DesktopOne application continuously filters e-mail and webmail to eliminate spam and protect users against phishing and e-mail-borne viruses.

Worldwide spam is on the rise. According to a recent Harris Interactive survey commissioned by Cloudmark, 46 percent of French adults and 56 percent of Chinese adults reported that they are receiving more spam in the past year. To combat this, Cloudmark DesktopOne empowers users by providing an additional layer of protection and control with delivery filtering capabilities that allows users to review questionable e-mails from their spam folder and determine their own level of protection.

"By offering Cloudmark DesktopOne to the French and Chinese markets, we are moving forward with our commitment to making free anti-spam software easily accessible for every user's desktop - worldwide," said Leon Rishniw, senior vice president of engineering for Cloudmark. "With these Cloudmark DesktopOne localized versions, the French and Chinese can now enjoy a clean e-mail experience in their native language."

Backed by almost 10 years of industry experience safeguarding the world's largest service providers, mobile carriers and social networks from messaging threats, Cloudmark now protects more than a billion user accounts worldwide.

With Cloudmark DesktopOne, users receive:

• Always-on E-mail Filtering-Cloudmark DesktopOne continuously filters messages to stop even the most sophisticated spam, phishing and e-mail-borne virus attacks.
