NOVATO, Calif., Apr 6, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NACIO Systems (www.nacio.com) announces the introduction of its new Spam and Virus Filtering (SVF) Service. SVF Service is available as a hosted service to all NACIO customers whose email services are hosted at NACIO Systems.

Powered by award-winning filtering technology from Postini, Inc., NACIO's SVF Service screens all incoming mail before it reaches the user's inbox and automatically separates legitimate email from suspicious messages (www.nacio.com/svf).

"We're very excited about offering this highly-effective spam and virus protection service to our customers," said Vince Conroy, NACIO's Chief Technical Officer. "The volume of spam has increased exponentially over the past couple of years and the costs to businesses for dealing with the problem have grown completely out of hand. Our new SVF Service takes the strain off overburdened IT staff and systems and protects networks from virus attacks. And, one of its greatest features is that it provides the user with maximum flexibility to fine-tune their own filtering levels according to their needs."

According to Conroy, virus protection is constantly updated to catch the latest, most dangerous viruses and users are notified immediately via email when a virus-infected message is quarantined. Personal PCs and corporate networks remain safe because the virus-infected messages never reach the organization's email system.

He adds: "NACIO's SVF service puts control into the hands of both the IT managers as well as the end-users they serve. Users enjoy secure, password-protected access to a web-based message center where they can safely review quarantined email and decide whether to deliver or remove individual messages. It's the best of both worlds if you're trying to reduce infection but still ensure that important and legitimate messages get delivered."
