I think their commentary about Sobig indicates they have no idea what they're protecting against, and even more indicates they're exploiting the hype they otensibly decry.

There were not manu systems infected with Sobig.F, its just that the few that were relentless transmitted infected emails.  The problems that ensued were from mail systems that were overwhelmed by the volume of messages received.  Don't think their technology could help here.....

Just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the company called
Avecho or their flagship product "Glasswall".

Any information from someone on the list that has had contact with them
would be great.

Here are a list of claims on their website:

Does not rely on...
Signature Dependenancy
Sandboxing or Throttling
Any form of recognition:
Not Virus detection or naming
Not any form of Heuristics
Not any form of Behavioural recognition

GlassWall has the following benefits...
requires no updates
provides immediate protection from new threats
can be put into firmware or silicon
does not alert hackers and virus writers to potential exploits by
publishing update information
can be embedded in into the network layer
is platform and operating system independent
sits at the border of a zone, network or computer
is continually running and provides zero response time to any threat
