Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 5, 2006

Network Magic, the leading home networking software provider, today announced a partnership with ZyXEL Communications Inc., to package and distribute ZyXEL wireless consumer routers with Network Magic’s management software. ZyXEL will offer a Network Magic bundle to customers and has incorporated a customized version of Network Magic’s router setup wizard to ensure easy installation.

A leading provider of secure broadband networking, Internet connectivity and routing products, ZyXEL’s world leading routers will include Network Magic’s award winning software that makes it easy to configure and maintain a home network, set up printer and file sharing , and protect the network from intruders and viruses. When a user starts up a ZyXEL router for the first time, he/she is prompted with a simple set of screens that clearly explain how to connect the router and get the home network, including PCs and devices, online. Additionally, Network Magic enables ZyXEL users to easily detect, block and boot unauthorized and unwanted users from the network.

“More and more people want to set up home networks to share information and digital content across PCs, printers and other devices,” said Martin DeBono, vice president of sales and business development, Network Magic. “But for many people the set-up and security of home networks is a huge barrier. The combination of Network Magic with ZyXEL’s routers addresses these concerns and was created to get people up and running quickly.”

“Fast and secure networking is central to the digital home,” said Munira Brooks, vice president of sales, marketing and business development at ZyXEL. “Our routers offer consumers unparalleled performance and the peace of mind that their home network is safe and secure. Now, with Network Magic we are providing our customers with the additional benefits of ease-of-use and simplified management of their home network.”

www.timeer.com http KPRC Local 2 was in Washington, DC recently when phone and wireless companies told government security leaders that a wave of viruses spreading across Asia and Europe is on its way to cell phones in the US Now an anti-virus firm is tracking eight different malicious cell phone bugs. Some spread through the list of phone numbers people keep in their phones. Houston computer security firms are bracing for the attack. Daniel Areemit with Timeer Networking said a cell phone user’s friends will think they are receiving a message. “Oh, this is a very cool picture. They click and download it. Then, you infect it,” Areemit said. Some viruses can drain a cell phone user’s minutes, make long distance calls at the user’s expense or steal pictures and e-mail. But one virus, called the Commwarrior, is spreading through text messages, which is a way of life for many teenagers.
