EarthLink acquires anti-spyware company Aluria
It seems that anti-spyware software companies are being bought up left and right these days and Aluria Software is no different. U.S. Internet service provider EarthLink Inc. just announced that it agreed to acquire the assets of privately held Aluria Software LLC, which makes security and anti-spyware software. Spyware Eliminator software is used on 20 million PC’s and is something Earthlink wanted to buy and hopefully use for their customers.
EarthLink said it expects the acquisitions, whose terms were not disclosed, to close in September. Aluria, which was founded in 1999 and based in Orlando, Florida, is best known for its consumer anti-spyware application called Spyware Eliminator. The product has more than 20 million users, Atlanta-based EarthLink said in a statement.
