Untangle Wins JusTech’n “Editor’s Choice” Award

SAN MATEO, Calif. – September 4, 2008 – Untangle today announced that it has received the “Editor’s Choice” award from JusTech’n. The freely downloadable Untangle Gateway is the world’s first commercial-grade open source solution for blocking spam, spyware, viruses, adware and unwanted content on the network. Built around more than 30 proven open source projects, including Snort, SpamAssassin, and ClamAV, Untangle provides small businesses and channel partners with a free and better alternative to costly, inflexible proprietary security appliances like those from Sonicwall, Watchguard, and Barracuda. “Most people use software to protect their computers. Each computer would be loaded with Anti-virus, Firewall and Anti-Spyware software. This method is not only difficult to maintain but can also be expensive if you have to pay for the software each time you load it on another computer,” wrote Ryan McLaughlin, founder of JusTech’n, in his review of Untangle. “Instead, you could use a gateway that has all those things on one computer and protects your whole network. Untangle provides such software, and best of all its free.” McLaughlin added, “Because of how great it works, all the functionality you get, and the fact that it is free, I am giving the Untangle software my Editor’s Choice award. If you have a network and it is not already protected by Untangle, I recommend you download and get it setup immediately.”JusTech’n offers independent editorial reviews for tech-savvy readers.
