Antivirus Protection
Protection for email. The Shield Deluxe 2008 scans email traffic
for viruses according to the protocol via which it is sent (POP3,
IMAP and NNTP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail) on
any mail program, while plug-ins and treatment for viruses in
Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express mail databases
are offered.
Scanning of Internet traffic. All HTTP Internet
traffic is scanned for viruses in real-time, ensuring that infected
objects are not saved to the computer’s hard disk.
Protection for file systems. Individual
files, catalogues and disks can be designated for antivirus scanning.
Users can limit antivirus scanning to critical areas of the operating
system and startup objects to ensure that attention is focused
on the most vulnerable areas of the system.
Proactive Protection
Control over changes in the file system.
With The Shield Deluxe 2008 it is possible to compile lists of
applications, the component structure of which will be controlled,
thus helping to prevent malicious programs from undermining the
integrity of the application.
Monitors processes in the memory. The Shield
Deluxe monitors the activity of programs and processes that have
been launched in the computer’s memory and, at the same time,
warns users of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden processes (that
is, rootkits), and of unauthorized changes in routine processes.
Monitors changes in the operating system
registry. The Shield Deluxe controls the status of the system
registry and notifies users of any suspicious objects or attempts
to create hidden keys in the registry.
Blocks dangerous macros. Proactive protection
affords control over the operation of macros based on Visual Basic
for Applications in Microsoft Office documents and blocks dangerous
macro-commands from being executed.
System restore. The system can be restored
after malicious activity. The Shield Deluxe 2008 can roll back
any changes made to the system by malicious programs. Fast operating
speeds
Technology for accelerated antivirus scanning. iSwift and iChecker
technology make it possible to limit scanning to new and modified
files, or to limit scanning to potentially dangerous objects only.
Antivirus scanning can be suspended during times of increased
user activity to ensure that your computer’s resources are
free for your use.
Reduced update sizes. The size of updates
downloaded to users’ PC has been reduced almost 10 times
(now amounting to several tens of kilobytes) in The Shield Deluxe
2008, making our updates virtually instant.
