Modwest announces virus, spam filtering services

Company says new services increase network security, decrease junk mail

Missoula, MT – April 18, 2002 – Modwest Inc., a growing provider of
shared and managed hosting services, today announced new spam and virus
filtering services available to their web hosting customers. Both
services are included free with all Modwest’s shared hosting plans.

"Network security and data integrity are extremely important to us and
our customers", said Modwest VP John Masterson. "With the continued rise
of viruses, worms, and other exploits, we felt that virus filtering was
extremely important to add to our service offering."

Spam filtering was a natural add-on to the virus filtering service.
"While our engineering team was integrating the virus filtering software
on our mail servers, they found it made sense to set up spam filtering
at the same time. Unsolicited commercial email is something we and our
customers have little patience for, and so providing customers with the
flexible tools to flag, file, or delete spam on arrival should mitigate
the load of bulk email to which our systems are subjected every day",
said Masterson.

Modwest says that the both new services are available now.
