SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.
An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if a virus is detected - SpywareGuard does the same thing for spyware! And you can easily have an anti-virus program running alongside SpywareGuard.
Here are some key features of "SpywareGuard":
· Fast Real-Time Scanning engine - catch and block spyware before it is executed (EXE and CAB files supported) with signature-based scanning for known spyware and heuristic/generic detection capabilities to catch new/mutated spyware
· Download Protection - prevent spyware from being download in Internet Explorer
· Browser Hijacking Protection - stop browser hijacking activity in real-time
· Small size - with a small size and small definition sizes, download and updates are quick
· Report Capabilities - keep a detailed log of all spyware detected
· Spyware files are blocked before being opened or run - they are not simply shut down after they are loaded in memory (and after they have performed their tasks)
