TaskPatrol is the arsenal of security utilities designed to give you complete overview of software running on your PC.
With the set of advanced security techniques, TaskPatrol is able to identify and remove malicious software from your computer. These include, but are not limited to, malware, spyware, adware, trojans, backdoors, suspicious browser helper objects...
Unlike other similar software, TaskPatrol implements a security engine capable of analyzing applications and finding potentially dangerous features and contents within them.
Each suspicious property found will be presented to the user in a non-technical easy to understand way, with suggestions on how to handle it.
These unique features enable TaskPatrol to spot even currently unknown malware which are not present in any database today.
Here are some key features of "TaskPatrol Pro":
· Task Guardian is the most exciting program feature and can be defined as the advanced process viewer but it is whole lot more than that! Task Guardian is able to get very detailed information about each running application, features implemented, human readable contents and potentially malicious activities.
Security engine implemented in it analyzes active applications as they run and mark potentially dangerous features and contents within them. Equipped with features not available in any other process viewer and with the "running in the background" feature, Task Guardian is an excellent replacement for the standard "Task Manager" which comes with every Windows.
· Network Guardian gives you the complete overview of all active network connections on your system. Spyware, adware and trojans are designed to communicate with their authors via internet. For example spyware use internet to send your private data to the central server, adware to receive ads from the server to your desktop and trojans are silently waiting for hackers to remotely connect to your system. From now on you will have control over programs with networking features, once suspicious connection is noticed you will be able to close it or even terminate the risky program.
· Unfortunately instead of one, Windows has many, more or less known, ways to start some third party program. This gives many headaches to users since it can be really hard to keep an eye on all of them. Malware exploits this by trying to unnoticeable auto start, not rarely using those less known methods. With the Startup Guardian you will be able to take your auto-started programs under control.
· Windows folder is an often hideout place for malicious software. Thus it is the most often place where malware installs it selves. With this feature you can list all unknown programs in the Windows folder with much information about them. Windows Guardian will examine the programs, find the product to which they belong, analyze them and mark with the appropriate risk color.
· Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser is the integral part of every Windows and thus most widely used browser today, but also it’s probably the most malware susceptible part of your system. A Browser Helper Object (BHO) is a DLL module designed as a plug-in for Internet Explorer to provide added functionality. These plugins are used widely today, since they can add new features to the Internet Explorer; however it is also the fact that more and more malicious software is taking advantage of this. Browser Guardian will protect your Internet Explorer from these unwanted plugins known as Browser Helper Objects (BHOs).
