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 protects you against major security threats including viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits and even some spyware. Its advanced ActiveDefense technology intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes and programs on a system and immediately halts any malicious action. It continuously monitors all activities on your PC at a very low system level and uses a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, software histories and tolerance thresholds to identify and shut down threats so you are always protected, no matter how new the threat. ThreatFire is easy-to-use, instantly impactful, and very light on system resources.

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 program installed.

How can ThreatFire protect me when traditional antivirus can't?
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.

Zero-day threats are usually designed to take advantage of new vulnerabilities or exploits that are currently unprotected by traditional security products. They are usually distributed in huge quantities very quickly by mass email (SPAM), website hijacks, instant messaging or over peer-to-peer networks. Because they are undetectable they are able to wreak havoc and compromise your PC even when you have up-to-date antivirus program installed.

Key Features
1. Immediately Effective with No Complicated Set Up
ThreatFire provides immediate protection out-of-the-box. There are no difficult configuration decisions, intimidating messaging, or time-consuming signature downloads. The easy to use software with its ActiveDefense technology does it all so you don't have to.

2. Proactive Defense against Both Known and Unknown Threats
Traditional antivirus program offers strictly reactive protection. It can only protect you from a new threat after the threat has been discovered and new signatures to protect against it are developed, tested, and then released for download. ThreatFire does not rely on signatures to protect you; instead, it uses intelligent behavioral analysis to proactively hunt down and paralyze any activity or behavior that might compromise the security of a PC. ThreatFire keeps you safe between antivirus updates so you are always protected, no matter how new the threat.

3. Quarantine and Permanently Remove Threats from Your System
ThreatFire now automatically quarantines all threats detected, whether known or unknown for your protection. After quarantining, you can choose to permanently delete the threats from your system.

4. Rootkit Scanner Seeks Out Deeply Hidden Files, Objects and Registry Keys
ThreatFire is constantly on the lookout for signs of hidden processes that are running on your system that might indicate the presence of a rootkit. If it detects a hidden process it will immediately terminate it and notify you. However, hidden processes are not the only indicators of a rootkit. A rootkit may contain several pieces and the Rootkit Scanner dives deeper into your system to seek out any hidden files, registry keys or other objects that may be part of a rootkit. If it finds anything, it gives you the option to quarantine the objects so that the rootkit is prevented from running.

5. View Detailed Process Information on All Running Processes
ThreatFire now includes a new System Activity Monitor that lets you view detailed and informative data on all processes running on your PC. Integrated right-click context menu allows you to terminate a process on demand or perform a web search on the process name.

6. Complementary to Your Existing Antivirus Software
Since no single software is currently foolproof, a layered defense provides the most complete protection. ThreatFire is the perfect complement to your existing antivirus protection, and is fully compatible with your antivirus or other security programs. While the traditional programs will protect only against known threats included in their signatures until a new update is created, ThreatFire goes beyond and also protects against new or unknown zero-day threats.

7. Advanced Custom Configuration Options and Rules Settings
ThreatFire now includes fully configurable Custom Rules to allow advanced protection settings according to your specific needs. Use the simple Rule Wizard to create fully outlined arguments for new rules you wish ThreatFire Pro to enforce.

8. More Technical Details Provided on Alerts
All ThreatFire alerts now include a new link that when clicked will display a list of files or registry objects that will be quarantined if you tell ThreatFire to quarantine the threat. Another link performs web search on the threat name. Easily access more data and background on the potential threats you encounter so that you can make more informed decisions on how to proceed.

9. Continually Improving Protection Technology
ThreatFire users can elect to participate in the ThreatFire Secure Community to aid in identifying suspect files and threats. When ThreatFire observes suspect behavior on a PC, the event information is automatically reported to PC Tools for analysis through a secure and anonymous connection. So as threat strategies evolve and new security penetration tactics emerge, ThreatFire's defenses remain at the forefront of the solutions that defeat those threats.
