GFI Software today announced the launch of GFI MAX Managed Antivirus solution in the Middle East. The new solution incorporates the latest VIPRE anti-malware technology, and the launch of a free malware removal service for MSPs using the product. Malware protection in GFI MAX – which is already used by MSPs to protect more than 250,000 endpoints worldwide and can be delivered as a stand-alone service or as part of the GFI MAX RemoteManagement portfolio.

Managed service providers (MSPs) using the latest version of GFI MAX Managed Antivirus will now get a malware removal service FREE of charge, such is the company’s confidence that the new and improved anti-malware technology in VIPRE can stop tough and hard-to-detect malware.

“Our free malware removal service for GFI MAX customers is not something that we have seen other vendors offer but it underscores our absolute confidence in the anti-malware technology that is provided by the VIPRE engine,” said Dr. Alistair Forbes, general manager of the GFI MAX business unit. “We have seen strong adoption of Managed Antivirus as result of the combination of the power of the VIPRE technology, ease of deployment from the dashboard and low overhead compared to other products on the market. This latest release sees further improvements in the level of security with no downside in system performance. We are backing our claims with a free malware removal service – in the unlikely event that malware does get onto an MSP customer site protected by VIPRE then our technicians will carry out full remediation – at our cost.”

In addition to its effectiveness against malware, the low-impact VIPRE anti-malware technology allows GFI MAX partners to minimise the overhead that the solution has on their customers’ systems, ensuring that their end users remain productive as well as protected. For the MSP, deployment is the easiest in the industry via the integrated Competitive Agent Removal Tool (CART), which automates the removal of existing antivirus agents, freeing up resources within the MSP.

The integration of VIPRE antivirus technology to the GFI MAX platform allows MSPs to further provide their customers with holistic management of their networks. In addition to managed antivirus, GFI MAX MSPs are equipped to provide remote monitoring and management, patch management and managed online backup from a single dashboard.
