PestPatrol v4.2 released: detecting and removing Spyware and Adware

June 26, 2004 -- 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

Keystroke loggers 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 Main Features:
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.
