U.S. Internet service provider EarthLink Inc. on Monday said it agreed to acquire the assets of privately held Aluria Software LLC, which makes security and anti-spyware software. 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. Recently, Aluria launched its first business-targeted application, Paladin, which provides anti-spyware protection for small businesses and corporations. The company also sells a number of other security and system optimization applications. EarthLink counted 5.4 million Internet subscribers at the end of June. Copyright 2005 Reuters Limited.
