What is
PestPatrol?
PestPatrol is a powerful security and personal privacy
tool that detects and eliminates destructive pests like
trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools. It complements
your anti-virus and firewall software, extending your
protection against non-viral malicious software that
can evade your existing security and invade your personal
privacy.
These pests often lurk silently on your computer until
something - or someone - sets them off. When that happens,
you could lose passwords, personal data, credit card
numbers, and - if you telecommute and connect to your
office via a VPN - open up a back door for the hacker
into your entire company network.
PestPatrol defeats the threat by detecting and removing:
- Spyware and adware that “phones
home” information about you, your computer, and your
surfing habits
- Remote access trojans (RATs)
that allow an attacker to remotely control your computer
- Keyloggers that can steal
passwords and other confidential data
- Denial-of-service (DoS) attack
agents that can crash or hang a program, or your entire
system
- Probe tools that look for
vulnerabilities on your system that a hacker can exploit
PestPatrol’s easy-to-use interface,
automatic updates and extensive on-line research center
make it simple to keep your computer clear of unwanted
pests. A 2002 PC Magazine Five Star Utility, PestPatrol
allows you to surf with confidence, knowing that your
personal information stays private and your computer stays
secure.
PestPatrol™ - What’s New in Version 4.1:
- CookiePatrol™ detects
spyware cookies the moment they land on your computer,
and quickly blasts them away.
- KeyPatrol™ detects
both known and unknown keyloggers, using both behavioral
and pattern-matching algorithms.
- Improved scan engine
enables faster scans, improves dynamic update abilities,
and substantially decreases memory usage.
- New heuristic cookie detection
techniques detect new, "unknown" spyware cookies,
improving detection results over the use of scan strings
alone.
CookiePatrol™: Memory-resident
Spyware Cookie Detection
CookiePatrol™ detects spyware cookies the moment
they land on your computer, and quickly blasts them away.
No need to block all cookies just to block some, the way
your browser would have it. And no need to block blindly,
limiting your ability to access certain sites, the way
some personal firewalls would have it. CookiePatrol allows
the cookie to be created, satisfying the web site that
gave it to you. Then it destroys the spyware cookie, satisfying
your need for privacy. All the benefits of cookies…with
none of the risks.
KeyPatrol™: Generic Keylogger Detection
KeyPatrol™ detects both known and unknown keyloggers,
using both behavioral and pattern-matching algorithms.
Even if a new keylogger gets to your computer before it
gets to our lab, you are protected.
KeyPatrol’s behavior-detecting algorithms are able to
detect a keylogger simply because it has hooked the keyboard,
and is watching your typing. Pattern-matching algorithms
compare every running file with a database of pests to
determine if the running program is a known keylogger.
Compatability:
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and Windows
XP.
