Computer Associates International, Inc., a software company, today announced the release of eTrust Anti-Spam, an anti-spam and fraud-detection solution, that blocks unsolicited emails.

eTrust Anti-Spam is the most recent addition to CA's eTrust PC security portfolio, which also includes enterprise-strength antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall software for consumers. eTrust Anti-Spam automatically builds and manages an approved list of senders, allowing users to view and use email effortlessly.

Additional key features include: spoof-proof fraud protection that verifies the authenticity of messages from people and companies using industry-standard digital signatures; optional challenge/response, allowing users to confirm that senders of quarantined messages are real people and not automated spam robots; verification of bonded sender, allowing mail from legitimate senders of commercial e-mail to be delivered to the inbox; support of international languages which properly filters spam sent in any language and automatically displays German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simple and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean based on personal Windows language settings.

"Today, spam is more than just a nuisance - it's a serious security threat," said George Kafkarkou, senior vice president of consumer and SMB sales for CA. "eTrust Anti-Spam allows users to use email effortlessly without being interrupted by spam or wasting time creating personal white lists and rules."
