Symantec Completes Phoenix Labs Acquisition
March 31st, 2006 by phrosty
CUPERTINO, CA Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced it has
completed the acquisition of Phoenix Labs, the market leader in
small-footprint firewalls and peer-to-peer protection. Phoenix Labs
expertise in internet investigation, rapid response and efficient
driver technologies complements Symantecs leadership in client
security to offer organizations a comprehensive endpoint protection
solution for both managed and unmanaged networks.
Phoenix Labs portfolio consists of a number of products, particularly
the PeerGuardian 2 software for Microsoft Windows. This system is an
example of exemplary driver-level efficiency and, as such, was a
valuable purchase that we believe our shareholders will value. This
combined with the blocklist.org IP database provide exceptional
protection for computers, information, and networks from misuse,
unauthorized malicious access, and incorrect configuration.
Symantec will continue to provide PeerGuardian 2, as well as other
software developed by Phoenix Labs under their current licenses for a
period of 28 days, before they are withdrawn from the market
permanently. There will be no more updates to blocklist.org.
Symantec believe that it is unwise to maintain user forums, but as a
bonus to loyal Phoenix Labs users all user data will be transferred to
our marketing department (as well as specially selected partners) in
order to offer you a number of special deals and free prize draws.
Some of PeerGuardians features and technologies will be available in
Norton Internet Security 2007, which will be available in the last
quarter of this year.
For further details of the acquisition, please see
