McAfee and Phoenix Technologies have formed partnership to develop a product for HyperSpace – Phoenix’s instant-on computing environment for notebooks and netbooks.
Under the partnership, the companies plan to combine technologies to provide computer users protection from viruses, attacks as well as online malware and spyware intrusions.
Phoenix said that the HyperSpace is designed to deliver enhanced boot times, continuous, smart internet connectivity, extended battery life and new levels of security protection while online. With HyperSpace, users can begin searching the web, send and receive email, use other web-based applications and work in productivity applications on their computing device.
The HyperSpace platform also provides a computing environment that PC designers, software developers and content providers can utilise to create instant-on applications that bring new connectivity, uptime and security to users.
Woody Hobbs, president and CEO of Phoenix Technologies, said: Protection from malicious software and other forms of attack enhances the user experience. By itself, HyperSpace provides a secure computing environment for users to surf the Web, access applications and sensitive data and conduct financial and other transactions.
“Layering in McAfee’s best-in-class security technology provides additional tiers of vault-like protection for computer users that are unmatched in the industry.
