Under the terms of the agreement, Interactive will market and distribute Sunbelt's full line of antivirus, antispyware, and messaging security solutions throughout the UK.
The distribution agreement covers Sunbelt enterprise and consumer product lines, including Sunbelt's new high-performance antivirus solution VIPRE Enterprise, CounterSpy Enterprise, Ninja Email Security for Microsoft Exchange, and Sunbelt Exchange Archiver.
