Messaging Security Leader Celebrates Milestone with Free Contest for All New and Existing Cloudmark DesktopOne Users

SAN FRANCISCO—September 13, 2011—Cloudmark, the global leader in carrier-grade messaging infrastructure and communications management, today announced the details of its  Countdown to a Million Downloads contest. As Cloudmark DesktopOne approaches its one millionth global download since its launch late last summer, Cloudmark is commemorating this significant product milestone with a $500 gift card contest. All existing users and all new users (up until the one millionth download) are encouraged to enter and celebrate this robust and free anti-spam email solution.

Cloudmark DesktopOne is the industry’s most accurate and easy-to-use anti-spam software for consumers and small businesses. Available as a free download, the lightweight, easy-to-install Cloudmark DesktopOne application continuously filters email and webmail to eliminate spam and protect users against phishing and email-borne viruses. Cloudmark DesktopOne empowers users to block, unblock and scan messages easily to determine their own level of protection and message delivery.

“We are incredibly proud of Cloudmark DesktopOne’s breadth of global popularity,” said Leon Rishniw, senior vice president of engineering for Cloudmark. “End-users are able to filter out annoying, fraudulent and malicious messages from mailboxes, while ensuring that their valid emails are delivered safely. And we’re able to do this free of charge, giving peace of mind for all users anywhere in the world.”

In addition to its approaching one millionth download, Cloudmark DesktopOne is experiencing broad market penetration, with downloads in 85 percent of the world’s countries. The top four countries reporting spam outside of the United States through Cloudmark DesktopOne include Taiwan (47 percent), UK (35 percent), China (10 percent) and Australia (8 percent).

Cloudmark DesktopOne has also garnered high praise from reviewers. Since its release, DesktopOne has received five out of five stars from Tucows and was awarded PCMag.com’s Best of 2010 Award in the “Software Security” category as well as that publication’s Editor’s Choice Award in 2010.
