Research Triangle Software (www.rtsz.com), a leading developer of secure and branded electronic commerce solutions, announced today a distribution agreement with Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) to add CA's eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware software to the CryptoStick®. eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware will be available on all CryptoSticks® 128 MB and larger, starting immediately.

eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware gives CryptoStick® users the ability to sweep a PC of malicious software designed to invisibly track sites surfed, products purchased, and messages sent. It protects PCs against spyware, adware, trojan horses, denial-of-service attack agents, and other backdoor web-based threats that can expose confidential information and diminish PC performance. It is backed by the CA Security Advisor (http://ca.com/securityadvisor), which provides vulnerability and configuration research, around-the-clock monitoring, and protection against malicious code, spyware/adware and blended threats.

"We are excited to partner with CA and offer eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware to our base of CryptoStick® users,” said Jeff LeRose, chief executive officer of Research Triangle Software. "With the number of USB Flash memory drives sold this year expected to be over 100 million units, security is a big concern and we will continue to be very focused on these needs."

The CryptoStick® is a USB 2.0 drive that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and features a high-impact aluminum body making it one of the smallest and most durable USB drives on the market today. To protect the data against loss or theft, the CryptoStick® comes (or ships) pre-loaded with RTS’ award-winning encryption software keeping any data file, including music, text, pictures, graphics and confidential documentation, secure and protected. In addition, for most business documents that are encrypted, the compression features allow the device to hold up to three times as much data as traditional USB drives with similar memory. The CryptoStick® also enables private and secure Internet browsing by storing a user’s personal settings (including cookies, history and web sites visited) on the device and not on the computer that was used. Based on its smaller size and performance, the CryptoStick® is commonly used for business travel, transferring files between computers, and for privacy when visiting web sites.

"Spyware is a serious problem for both individual and corporate computer users, since it destroys privacy and diminishes system performance," said Sam Curry, vice president of eTrust Security Management at CA. "By including the robust spyware defense of eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware on its plug-and-play USB device, RTS is providing mobile users with a complete, easy-to-use solution for effectively protecting their data and their computers."

CryptoStick® Pricing and Availability: The CryptoStick® USB 2.0 is available at over a dozen leading online retailers including TigerDirect.com, PCConnection.com, Provantage.com, SmarterDeals.com and Buy.com in sizes ranging from 32MB to 4GB and prices ranging from $9.95 to under $499.99 with rebate.
