PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0


PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0


PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 Capabilities
PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 permanently and easily deletes all of the following file types, and more never to be restored again!

  • deleted files

  • chat transcripts

  • audio and video files

  • temporary internet files

  • image files (all formats)

  • clipboard data

  • search histories

  • passwords

  • internet history

  • cookies


PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 deletes index.dat
Index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser. The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs as long as Windows is active. It functions as a repository of redundant information, such as web URLs, search queries, and recently opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing" stores the contents of a database in a different order to help speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer history, cache, and cookies. from Wikipedia

Why do you need PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 ?
Because your Windows Recycle bin only deletes the file that you see ... not the actual data on your harddrive. However, until the file location on your hard disk is overwritten many times, the files can be completely recovered using many available computer programs, or even simple computer commands. Deleted files are the first thing hackers, privacy thiefs, and other computer experts look for when they are trying to recover sensitive information from your computer or discarded disks. Employers routinely search for 'deleted' files to discover information about employees.

The PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 Shred Method
PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 shreds files using the most advanced, ‘military-grade’ data deletion methods available. Indeed, the shred method used by PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 (5022.22M ) have been approved for use by both the U.S. Department of Defense (D.o.D.) and the U.S. National Security Agency (N.S.A.). PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 performs ALL tasks required by the above agencies when shredding and our proprietary shred-engine is fast.

Product features:



  • Unlimited Shredding
    Most competitor products limit the user to only 1, or to a fixed number of data wipes when shredding. WinShredder permits an UNLIMITED number of data wipes. Want to shred that file 10000 times? No problem!



  • Unlimited 'Do Not Shred' Folder Locations
    A serious flaw in most competitor products is the inability to protect important folders from accidental shredding. This disastrous problem is solved with PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0. PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 permits an unlimited number of 'Do Not Shred' folder locations to be defined, protecting them from accidental shredding.



  • Drag and Drop to the Desktop Trashcan
    PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 supports all Windows drag and drop features. You can Shred files or folders simply by dragging them to the desktop WinShredder Trashcan.



  • True Windows Explorer Integration (Right mouse-click menu integration)
    PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 integrates with all versions of the Windows operating system and appears as a new 'Delete with WinShredder' menu option, complete with icon, when right mouse-clicking on a file or folder.



  • Optional Instant Shredding
    Turn on the 'Instant Shred' option and you can start the shred process instantly just by dragging files to the desktop PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 trash can.



  • No 'lock-ups' while Shredding
    Many competitor products lock up your computer while they are shredding files. While they are shredding files, you cannot move your mouse or open another program, or, your mouse is jerky and intermittent. Not WinShredder! You can continue to work while shredding is underway, seamlessly and smoothly.

STOPzilla! Review



 


 


STOPzilla! Review


 


 


STOPzilla! is an well packaged and attractive product which has seen steady improvements with each new release. Unfortunately, the protection it provides against spyware is still lacking.


Usability

STOPzilla! installed without a hitch directly from their website, even on our heavily infested test PC. After a re-boot, STOPzilla! was ready to scan for the first time.


STOPzilla! kicked off a scan automatically the first time we ran it. The confusing array of dialog windows found in previous versions have been replaced with a single window that can be used to access all of the products functions. The main tab ("Home") now contains a prominent "Start Scan Now" button, along with other buttons for quick access to common features, as well as some basic statistics about the program itself (version #, last scan, etc).




We found the interface to be very attractive and pleasing to the eye. The scan results screen in particular is well-laid out and very easy-to-understand. One problem, however, is that it tends to overstate the number of infections found. Instead of counting each malware program as a single infection, it counts each file, registry setting, and cookie. This leads to a highly inflated detection count which does not correlate to the actual health of one's PC.

Spyware Removal

Scanning was fast, taking 18 minutes on our first benchmark server. We tested STOPzilla! on four different PCs, each containing different types of malware commonly found on the internet. It detected 44% of the spyware in our test and disabled 26% of it. However, it only fully removed 11% of the threats on our PCs, which caused the program to detect the same spyware over on subsequent runs.


One area where STOPzilla! stands out is that it does a much better job of removing browser toolbars than other programs we've tested against. If you have a stubborn toolbar, this product may be worth purchasing for this reason alone.


Rollback

STOPzilla! allows you to rollback any changes made to your system if necessary. This feature can be found on the Scan Results screen. On the "Removed" tab, click the "Restore" button at the bottom of the window.


Customer Support

STOPzilla! offers online and email customer support. Telephone support is also available at 1-877-877-9944 during typical US business hours.

Other Options

STOPzilla! includes some additional protection features, such as memory monitoring, homepage protection, and the ability to block popup, javascript dialog windows, and windows messenger spam. Version 5.0 also introduces the much-needed ability to schedule scans to run during off-hours.


The popup blocker included with STOPzilla! is one of the better ones we've seen in any anti-spyware product. It not only provides you with a list of popups, but you can also look at screenshots of the popups to see exactly what was blocked. Neat.


Summary

STOPzilla! continues to show steady improvement with each new release. While the program stands out in ease-of-use and the ability to remove browser toolbars, the overall level of protection is still somewhat lacking.

CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Review

CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Review


Computer Associates came with their latest and better edition of CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 to propose a step forward in quality and features. Besides firewall, antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and parental control, the suite now contains data migration and a Web site inspector to identify malicious sites.


One thing you should be aware of is that, at install, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 offers to set up the Yahoo! toolbar and make Yahoo! your default search engine which together with CA’s own Web site Inspector causes your browser to be kind of top-heavy.



The present firewall is obviously much better than what CA presented last year when it swapped from ZoneAlarm's one to its Tiny Personal Firewall but improvement is still to be had.
According to PCMAG, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 passed most of the port-scanning tests but failed the Gibson Research's ShieldsUp (CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 leaving from two to four less-used ports closed but not stealthed ). Opposite to using NIS 2008 or Panda Internet Security 2008’s modern styles of program control, the CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 user has to decide every time a program attempts to connect to the Internet whether to permit it.

Though it did not survive to fake mouse-clicks attack as Kaspersky and Norton products did, CA's new version security system still showed high protective measures. The firewall offers a wide range of additional features -- it can guard against malicious attachments from incoming e-mail and watch outgoing mail for behaviors, it can also block cookies, ads and script, having the ability to prevent the sending of predefined personal data in e-mail or over the Web.


As PCMAG described it, using client-side attacks from the Core Impact penetration testing utility proved itself worthy in revealing some of CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 vulnerabilities in the suite's protection system which recommends Norton Internet Security 2008 as a better candidate to your security needs.

PC Tools announces the launch of the latest release of multi-award winning Spyware Doctor, Version 5.5.


PC Tools announces the launch of the latest release of multi-award winning PC Tools Spyware Doctor®, Version 5.5.


Building on the success of PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5, version 5.5 has been upgraded to provide minimal impact to computer performance and user friendly functionality.


New features include enhanced rootkit detection and removal, enhanced real-time protection at the kernel level, reduced memory usage, network guard enhancements and automated threat evaluation.

Consistently awarded Editor’s Choice awards by leading PC Magazines and testing laboratories worldwide and downloaded by over a hundred million users globally, PC Tools Spyware Doctor continues to detect, remove and block all types of malware including spyware, adware, spyware Trojans, rootkits, keyloggers and a variety of other security related risks. OnGuard real-time protection also protects the user from malicious phishing websites.

Enhanced Rootkit Removal - PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 now has upgraded rootkit removal techniques that reduce the number of system reboots previously required to remove some of the most difficult rootkits.

Reduced Memory Usage - the overall memory usage and footprint for PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 has been reduced to ensure minimal impact to computer performance.


Network Guard Enhancement - Network Guard has been upgraded to include additional protection against new threats that attack network registry settings, thus preventing them from interfering with your Internet connection.
