NetMinder Ethernet customers who install the update and have alerts set will automatically be paged, emailed, or sent an SNMP trap if exploits of the Bugbear virus are detected on the network. According to VNUnet.com, the Bugbear work will likely surpass Klez to become the number one threat to computer users with over 130,000 infections already reported. "Network administrators must maintain a vigilant watch over their networks," said Michael Swan, Neon Software's chief technology officer. "NetMinder Ethernet is an essential part of that vigilance. Our Packet Inference technology analyzes network data based on a set of pre-programmed rules and provides explanations for unusual conditions it detects. This update adds 'Bugbear' to Packet Inference's extensive list of high-risk conditions." Packet Inference is a NetMinder Ethernet plug-in. The update for the plug-in is now available and free for Netminder Ethernet 5.0 customers running under Mac OS X. Upgrades to Netminder Ethernet 5.0 from previous versions are available for $199. Competitive upgrades to NetMinder Ethernet are also available. Visit http://www.neon.com for the latest information on Bugbear detection and product pricing.
