Tweeting through Windows, eThreatz and a Family Web.

Did you know Enex TestLab is tweeting? You can also stay up-to-date with Enex's operations and testing, including all of its products and services via Facebook. If you've already been following, you might have heard about Enex's work with Microsoft to perform compatibility testing for Windows7.

Enex TestLab Microsoft Windows7 Compatibility Testing and Microsoft Windows Logo Certification Packages are new cost saving services offer by Enex for managing application compatibility with Microsoft's upcoming Operating System - Windows7.

Significant changes made to Windows7 (particularly to the way third-party code is handled) mean there is no guarantee an application will be fully compatible, even if it installs successfully on the Windows7 Beta version.

Enex TestLab Microsoft Windows7 Compatibility Testing is a low-cost service that has attracted a lot of interest from businesses keen to keep costs down as they prepare for the new OS. The rapid turn-around test is proving to be a popular way for organisations to minimise the potential need for patches after release, as well as keeping developer resources focused.

Other customers are seizing the opportunity to use Enex to manage their product successfully through Microsoft Windows Logo certification. See microsoft.testlab.com.au

This quarter Enex is also proud to release a new flagship product eThreatz. eThreatz is the world’s first fully automated malware testing service. Developed to be the most accurate, flexible and cost effective service available, eThreatz addresses the complete range of malware, including: spyware, worms, trojans, viruses, rootkits, adware, crimeware, and botnets.

Enex TestLab eThreatz malware testing is designed to be repeatable - automatically. This means that the same batch of malware can be used repeatedly in order to regressively test for a specific requirement. Or, (for example) Enex TestLab can run live, constantly updating tests in real-time to determine how effectively a product can defend against malware in the real world, at any given moment in time.

Using real-time, real-world, malware and testing conditions, eThreatz delivers the most accurate and most useful security testing in the world. It can be fully customised, and because it is automated, it is extremely cost effective. Reporting is also fully customisable, and is delivered – automatically. It’s amazing no-one’s done anything like this before! See ethreatz.com

Q3 2009 also saw increased activity with a number of tests conducted by Enex for the Internet Industry Association's (IIA) Family Friendly Content Filter Scheme.

Accreditation through Enex offers formal certification that an Internet content filter complies with the Australian Internet Industry Association (IIA) codes for regulating online content. See testlab.com.au/web/guest/iia
