FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
21 December 2000

Kaspersky Lab Introduces an Anti-Virus Solution for Lotus Notes/Domino
The Kaspersky Anti-Virus (AVP) beta-version for Lotus Notes/Domino is
released

Moscow, Russia, December 21, 2000 - Kaspersky Lab, an international
data-security software-development company, announces the beta-version
release of its flagship anti-virus product, KasperskyT Anti-Virus (AVP), for
Lotus Notes/Domino e-mail gateways running on the Linux or Windows NT
operating system.

Kaspersky AV for Lotus Notes/Domino provides enterprise-wide networks with
virus protection for incoming and outgoing external and internal e-mail
traffic. After installation on the gateway, the program enables real-time,
centralised anti-virus filtering and disinfection of e-mail messages from
all types of computer malware; i.e., before an infected message reaches the
recipient on a client computer. 
Kaspersky AV for Lotus Notes/Domino reliably controls all elements of an
e-mail message: the message body; attached files (including archived and
compressed files); and other messages of any nesting level are automatically
checked for viruses. In this way, the program detects viruses in any part of
a message, leaving viruses no chance of entering your network.
In case a virus is detected, Kaspersky AV prevents the message from being
delivered to a recipient, and sends out notifications about the incident to
both the sender and recipient. The program's flexible configuration allows
for deletion, blocking, quarantining or curing of malware so that the
recipient within your network receives only cleansed messages. In addition,
even if a virus has penetrated a workstation from another source other than
e-mail, Kaspersky AV stops the virus from spreading by means of e-mail,
notifying the network engineer about the incident.
Kaspersky AV also supports centralised deployment and remote control, using
the standard Lotus Notes/Domino built-in features.

"Today, e-mail has become the main source for virus propagation. This is the
reason for the company's main priorities - the development of reliable and
cost-effective anti-virus defence systems integrated into e-mail gateways
and e-mail clients," said Vsevolod Ivanov, Kaspersky Lab Marketing Director.
"The existing product line already includes integrated virus protection for
Microsoft Exchange Server, Sendmail, Qmail gateways and MAPI-clients such as
Outlook and Exchange Client. The release of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Lotus
Notes/Domino continues our intended course and confirms our commitment to
providing customers with comprehensive anti-virus solutions and supporting a
wide range of platforms for corporate networks of any scale."
