Original Press Release:
Next-Generation Qurb Anti-Spam Software Protects Companies and Their Customers from Scams and E-Mail Forgery
Award-Winning Software Authenticates E-mail Senders and Integrates with Outlook Express
SAN MATEO, Calif. - October 13, 2003 - Qurb, Inc., a provider of award-winning anti-spam and e-mail security software, today announced the immediate availability of Qurb Spam 2.0. The next generation of award-winning anti-spam software from Qurb (pronounced "curb") is tightly integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Qurb Spam 2.0 provides a spoof-proof white list, blocking messages from spammers who masquerade as legitimate businesses or friends. Unlike content filtering tools, these security and authentication features protect individuals and businesses from scams that trick individuals into giving up credit card, account and other personal information while ensuring delivery of personal and opt-in e-mail.
"Qurb makes use of industry-standard digital certificates to validate the identity of e-mail senders, stripping away the anonymity that cloaks spammers and separating them from legitimate high-volume e-mail senders," stated Felix Lin, CEO and co-founder of Qurb. "Qurb helps businesses reach customers despite the increasing volume of spam while protecting customers who might be deceived by forged e-mail messages that appear to have been sent by trustworthy companies."
Awarded PC Magazine's Editors' Choice in May 2003, Qurb provides the easiest-to-use and most effective spam filter available. Qurb software automatically creates and maintains a comprehensive white list of approved senders. Mail from approved senders is delivered directly to the inbox -- any mail that arrives from unknown senders is automatically quarantined. The unique quarantine reminder and sender confirmation (challenge/response) system brings messages from old friends or new acquaintances to your attention quickly.
New Product Features
With new features for enhanced security and privacy introduced in version 2.0, users will find Qurb easier-to-use and more effective than ever.
o Sender Authentication
Qurb validates digital signatures to protect the brand equity and customers of well-known businesses, automatically blocking messages that fraudulently claim to be from those businesses.
o Sender Registration
The sender registration feature allows businesses to automatically add approved e-mail addresses to the white lists of their subscribers to ensure delivery of opt-in e-mail. When customers opt-in to receive e-mail, they have an opportunity to download Qurb software without leaving the website and registration process.
o Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express
Qurb works seamlessly within these e-mail programs, providing an integrated toolbar, quarantined message folder and spam filtering as messages are received.
o Enterprise Deployment Features
Qurb Spam 2.0 can be as easily deployed as Microsoft Office. A standard configuration, corporate license key and configuration management controls enable IT managers to easily manage deployment of Qurb software to thousands of desktops. Qurb software complements anti-spam gateway and server software by filtering known spam at the gateway and legitimate commercial e-mail at the desktop.
Pricing and Availability
Qurb Spam 2.0 is available immediately for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, with integrated language support for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese and Korean. A free 30-day trial of the product can be downloaded from the web site at qurb.com/get. Pricing for individuals begins at $29.95.
