BitDefender Antivirus Now Locally Available in Cebu, Philippines

Philippine enterprises and individuals looking for BitDefender antivirus solutions may now be assured of local technical and sales support in Cebu province. This local presence of the antivirus company is the result of a partnership contract signed between IPSYSTEMS, Inc., the Philippine distributor of BitDefender products, and CBX Corporation, a Cebu-based company engaged in the business of manufacturing, retailing, distribution, and systems integration of Information Technology (IT) products in the Visayas and emerging Mindanao markets.

Patricia B. Celis, Vice-President of IPSYSTEMS said, “We are enthusiastic about our new partnership with CBX Corporation. Our common goal is to increase the Filipino’s awareness of the powerful solutions which BitDefender has to offer, and to make BitDefender a leading provider in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.”

“It is a pleasure for us to be working hand in hand with IPSYSTEMS,” added Wilbert Lim, Managing Director of CBX Corporation. “With a strong product such as BitDefender, combined with CBX expertise in information technology, we are confident it will be the end users who will be gaining the most from this partnership. We believe it is high time that PC users be more vigilant in protecting their computers against all kinds of malwares and threats. BitDefender can be that first step which consumers can take in protecting their systems.”

BitDefender is a global provider of security solutions for the protection of today's computing environment. Although relatively new in the antivirus industry in the Philippines, BitDefender has delivered antivirus and anti-spam products and services to over 41 million home and corporate users in more than 100 countries worldwide.

In early 2006, PCWorld.com (website published by PC World Magazine) awarded BitDefender a “#1 antivirus ranking” in their online comparative charts. By June of the same year, TopTenREVIEWS Inc., an Internet publisher of expert technology and entertainment reviews, presented the “Top Ten Reviews Gold Award” to BitDefender, which quickly ensued and sparked heavy demand for its products across the Philippines and beyond.

The BitDefender range of products include antivirus, firewall, anti-spyware, anti-spam and parental control for corporate and home users. They are also implemented on complex IT structures (work stations, file servers, mail servers and gateway) on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD platforms.
