Returnil Virtual System protects your computer from harmful viruses, spyware and unwanted programs, preserves your computer settings, and ensures your internet privacy. Simply restart your computer to erase all changes. When the Returnil protection is ON, your Windows system is running on a virtual partition meaning that every single change in the system partition actually takes place in memory. Therefore, all data and modifications will be lost after your system reboots. By restarting you PC, Returnil will discard all attempted changes made to your System Partition while Protection is ON. When the Returnil Protection is OFF, you can install or remove any programs, create documents, install security upgrades and software patches, alter configurations, and update user accounts. All changes in the system partition will remain following a reboot. Returnil Virtual System differs from every other product that claims to provide the same protection for these compelling reasons: 1. Faster, stronger, better - Returnil Virtual System uses advanced technology to clone your computer's System Partition in memory rather than on a portion of your Hard Disk Drive. This not only introduces obvious performance enhancements, but also does its part in helping to reduce overall disk use and wear. 2. Their design philosophy - Simplicity of design and implementation is their core mission. They see no compelling reason why computer security needs to be complex in order to be effective. 3. Their commitment to the fight - They take this seriously. Their core values demand that they contribute to the fight against Malware, which is why they are offering Returnil Virtual System 2007 free for personal home use without any limitations in the software! Business, Government, Educational Institutions, and Non-profit organizations are still required to purchase licensing. Features The Returnil Virtual System: Keeps your System Partition safe when browsing the Internet Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Adware, Spyware, and unwanted content disappear with a simple reboot Enforces settings and protects your internet privacy Helps reduce overall disk wear by using memory rather than HDD cloning technology Saves you time, money, and lost hair by maintaining or improving peak computer performance Reduces or eliminates the need for routine disk de-fragmentation of your system partition Your spam filter is strong, but not infallible - Returnil will eliminate the consequences of opening infected e-mail and/or attachments Leaves absolutely no traces of computer activities Eliminates all activities even if your computer is powered-off or crashes Eliminates the danger of evaluating new software that does not require a reboot to install Offers stronger, simpler and smarter protection for your PC Seamless integration with supported Windows Operating Systems Easy to use, simple to configure, and the one tool in your arsenal that will be there to save the day when all else fails!

PC Tools ThreatFire (Formerly Cyberhawk) Current Version: 2.0.2.12 http://www.threatfire.com/ (Formerly http://www.novatix.com/Cyberhawk/ ) Freeware Supported Platforms: Windows Vista, Windows XP SP1 or SP2 (Home, Pro & Media Center Editions), Windows 2000 SP 4 with Update Rollup 1, or Windows 2003 ThreatFire protects when your antivirus can't. Unlike an antivirus that checks for virus signatures, it watches for -- and blocks -- suspicious behaviors as they occur. Will your antivirus catch the latest virus that just came out today? No. It doesn't know how to recognize it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products. See the table here: http://www.threatfire.com/about/#chart ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of internet threats - both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware. ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus software. ThreatFire does not rely on signatures, but instead constantly analyzes your computer's behavior to detect and block any malicious activity. This should be good with zero-day viruses. ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by detecting their malicious activity. ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed. ThreatFire is advanced technology designed especially for people, not just experts. It has the highest level of out-of-the-box accuracy. No need to configure baffling, technical security settings: just turn ThreatFire on and start blocking malware. It works alongside your current security programs - there is no need to uninstall your antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall or other security program before installing ThreatFire. ThreatFire now includes advanced protection features including malware quarantine and removal, rootkit scanner and custom rules settings in both the Free and Pro versions. Important warning: Do your testing on a PC other than the one you depend on. This is pre-release and you may encounter difficulties.

This is the ONLY method which ensures that malware cannot steal your data since it never got a chance to do its dirty deeds. In addition, it removes all of their hooks and restores your system to its original condition AUTOMATICALLY. No removal instructions to look up and apply manually, no downtime. BOClean runs automatically in the background without interfering with your work and kills malwares INSTANTLY the moment they activate without giving them the chance to invade your machine. BOClean also eliminates the need to stop what you're doing to secure your machine after it's too late. Unlike antivirus programs, BOClean will actually shut them down and destroy them without the need for you to seek out the method of removal or risking dangerous editing of your system's innermost configurations. BOClean requires no technical skills and handles detection, removal and repair of your system automatically. BOClean protects you against a full spectrum of malware, automatically removing these programs from memory, your hard disk and your registry without the need to reboot or drop your internet connection. BOClean safely neutralizes these threats instantly without any risk of damage to your files or computer. Updates are FREE, and the update download and installation process is (or, in the case of network deployment, can be) completely automated. BOClean can be setup to update automatically from a network file share. It can also be hidden on a desktop to protect against tampering by end users. Because it is automatic and runs in the background, there is no need to depend on user training or vigilance to secure your network. It is also excellent for individual users and "home" networks. BOClean will shut down an intrusion long before the person on the other end has a chance to so much as "ping" the victim's machine, much less start grabbing data. When an intrusion occurs, BOClean will stop it instantly. No other security program from any other manufacturer works this way. BOClean will SAFELY remove malware without the need to reformat and reinstall the operating system as has been recommended by some "security experts". BOClean is designed for both single user and network scenarios and can be customized for any network or institutional situation. It can be run continuously as a background application to watch and wait for malware to appear (recommended) or it can be configured to run once, permitting manual scans (not recommended) from a desktop icon. BOClean is designed to run quietly without intrusion if no malware "attack" exists and will scan through any suspicious files with signature analysis to preclude false alarms or possible damage to valid configurations. BOClean is designed to install itself into the system if installed using the SETUP program provided with it. Should malware attempt to install, BOClean will stop it instantaneously. Think of your antivirus as a burglar alarm. BOClean is a motion detector.
