ISLANDIA, N.Y. – Jan. 21, 2012 -- Total Defense, Inc., a global leader in malware threat detection and anti-crimeware solutions, today announced the company will partner with the PACE Center for Girls to provide Anti-Virus Plus software for each of the 17 PACE Centers across Florida. PACE is a statewide, nationally recognized prevention program that provides at-risk girls a chance for a more positive future by helping them develop the skills they need to be successful in school and in life.

"We are honored that Total Defense shares our mission to provide girls and young women an opportunity for a better future," said Marcus Haile, director of development at PACE. "Technology is an integral component in providing a solid foundation of growth for our girls, and with Total Defense we can help to ensure they have safe access and total protection as they learn these important skills."

"We are excited to be able to help PACE give girls the opportunity to advance with security tools that keep them safe online."
