Take a listen: SPAM Show #1
Welcome to 2009! We’re half-way through the first month of the year, and things are going great. Thank you for a fantastic 2008, for your feedback, for your development support and, most of all, for your money. Own Web Now is a great company because its partners and clients invest in us by helping us deliver the exact software and services that are expected. I will not lie… 2008 was tough. We straightened out billing. We globalized half a dozen services. We added staff across the board and positioned the company to be by your side for years.
Now it’s payback time. My biggest regret in 2008 was that I did not spend enough time talking to you- my fellow partners and clients.
Today we are changing all that with the launch of Own Web Now’s SPAM Show. This podcast is meant to do two things:
1) Bring you up to speed with developments at Own Web Now
2) Provide you with the expert opinion on today’s top tech trends
Whether you own your own technology business or are responsible for a network of 64,000 users, time is scarce. Staying on top of all the technology developments and getting various opinions and experiences is a very difficult and time consuming task. Thankfully, I work with many intelligent people at Own Web Now and have a lot of friends in the IT field that talk to a lot of techies, and we will do our best to present a concise review of what you should be thinking about. (This used to be the most popular and most demanded quality of the SBS Show – people love to learn but they also like to be entertained and to save time.)
So to find out what is on my mind and what my friends are working on… just tune in and listen. The first show is online already:
Featuring Mark Crall from Tech Care Team and Stuart Selbst from SecureMyCompany, Inc. They discuss trends in cloud services, Kaseya, Google Reseller program and more.
Mark and Stuart are my go-to folks in the community and true leaders in our market. To find out more about them you can follow their blogs: Mark Crall’s blog. Stuart Selbst’s blog.
Sincerely,
Vlad Mazek, MCSE
CEO, Own Web Now Corp
Announcing ExchangeDefender Client Software Suite
ExchangeDefender, now in the 4th release of the product, is proud to add Client Software Suite to the portfolio of security and business continuity products covered under a single fee. Consisting of ExchangeDefender Outlook 2007 agent and ExchangeDefender Desktop agent, the suite is uniquely positioned to help users interact with ExchangeDefender without having to leave their day-to-day computing experience inside Outlook 2007 or Windows Desktop.

Click here to see the features overview
While the features of the two products overlap somewhat, each is designed for a specific audience. Outlook 2007 agent is primarily designed to let users interact with ExchangeDefender on demand, report SPAM that slips through and casually customize the service to their needs. Desktop agent is designed for the diehard email addict that needs hourly updates on the amount of SPAM, quick access to LiveArchive.
We will continue to develop both going forward and have plans to introduce web filtering, virus protection and web file sharing during 2009. We see attack vectors changing and becoming more social to compromise the security of more savvy technology users. With that threat, the software protecting our users must evolve as well.
As always we welcome feedback and suggestions on how to improve the software and make your clients and users more efficient and productive with our services. Please use the Development tab in our support portal to communicate directly with the development team.
Oh, did we mention that all this is FREE? Go ahead and download it now!
New ExchangeDefender Engine
Since December 15th we have been testing a new ExchangeDefender antispam engine that has gone into production last night, January 5th. The new engine improves SPAM filtering efficiency by nearly 800% and shows about 5% less false positives than the current engine.
This new system has been running in the background transparently simultaneously with our previous engine and did not impact operations. We have started to notice new trends in SPAM lately and have moved to improve filtering of the items that have not been accurately picked up by the network.
We want to thank you for submitting SPAM through our ExchangeDefender Outlook 2007 agent as that has been critical in our ability to better protect you from junk. If you have not yet deployed the new ExchangeDefender Outlook 2007 plugin, or the new ExchangeDefender Desktop please do so today. They are available for download on the homepage at www.exchangedefender.com
Enjoy your new, cleaner mailbox!
Welcome to 2009!
Dear Friends, Clients, Partners, Happy New Year!
Thank you for a fantastic 2008. Not only have we seen our service deployments and contracts grow at a tremendous rate but we have also undertaken a record expansion in our Global Network Services platform offering Exchange, SharePoint, Enteprise Offsite Backups, Virtual Hosting and more from the European Union (United Kingdom, Nethrelands, France and Germany), Canada as well as Australia. Our flagship product, ExchangeDefender, grew from a pure security service to one that also plays a key part in the business continuity and disaster recovery.
We look forward to an incredible 2009. With key hires and services delivery platform built for speed and value we believe that our solutions will be a great answer to what may be a tough economic cycle.
We will be introducing several new products in 2009.
We will also be making some interesting changes to the support of the existing offerings.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2009!
