Product History

The Emcee was our first product. It is a custom menu system and audit trail that was voted the top menu system under $100 by the INFOWORLD review board. It was also honored as one of the top 100 products of 1988 in all classes. TheEmcee was just the first example of our commitment to excellence.

Our growing family of satisfied customers showed us that security was fast becoming a priority issue. We enlisted them as "technology partners" in order to develop the comprehensive security module known as Security Guardian. This total security package, featuring nine different access levels, grew to become one of our top-selling programs.

In order to serve an even broader computing base, we released a subset of Security Guardian called FREEZE!! This small boot protection module protects thousands of PCs all over the world.

In late 1991 our developers created F-PROT Professional, an anti-virus product to add to our family of computer security programs. NCSA certified for effective virus detection, F-PROT Professional uses heuristic scanning to catch previously unknown viruses. In order to offer complete client/server protection for Novell networks we created NET-PROT, a NetWare Loadable Module, in 1993. To better serve customers with multi-server systems, F-PROT Professional for NetWare was developed in 1995, featuring streamlined deployment.

Command has recently begun a series of strategic partnerships with various companies to develop new product lines.

Command Software has offices and distributors around the world, all working on creating enterprise solutions for companies of all sizes.

Many of our products have earned certifications and awards from international sources, including Secure Computing Checkmark certification, NCSA Anti-Virus Certification, and numerous magazine recommendations, etc.
