difficult about it. Mark Gibbs,

What Customers are Saying
We were attacked by a server sending out the
Worm.Bagel.AF.2 virus. Nothing on the network got
infected, though. When my boss asked about what
happened, I told him The Barracuda ate the
virus. Thanks again for the great product.
-David Goranson, Gores Technology Group

• In my humble opinion, you need look no further
  The Barracuda Spam Firewalls provide the optimal
  balance of spam/virus filtering at a cost
  effective price point. -Richard Applebaum,

We are very happy with the Barracuda Spam
Firewall. It's doing its job, so we can do
ours."- Darryl Dirickson, Georgia Institute of
Technology
My employees were spending so much of their time
weeding through spam emails, often times deleting
important emails in the process, that they
couldn't get their work done. The Barracuda Spam
Firewall has turned email into a productive
business tool again. We are very pleased.
