Malware, short for malicious software, is mostly created by criminals to steal personal information from computers or by hackers who are searching for fame by taking down a computer or disrupting a computer's operating system. While most of the perpetrators are usually looking for financial gain, a handful just want the praise generated by gaining access to sensitive information or to take down a large entity, such as banks and/or governmental agencies.
Malware is a malicious set of programming code embedded in a download or an email, executed after opening a newly acquired file, to fulfill its role of intrusive behavior. Malware includes Viruses, Ransomware, Malicious BHOs, Rogue Security Software often embedded in Toolbars, Worms, Trojans, Rootkits, Keyloggers, Dialers, Spyware and Adware. Malware, although not usually connected to viruses, does include some form of virus that morphs itself by changing identity when discovered.
STOPzilla AntiMalware is the premier AntiMalware product in the industry. It can operate as your primary defense against Malware, and other threats, or work cooperatively with your currently installed AntiVirus security software without affecting your computer's performance. STOPzilla is easy to use and is serviced and supported in the USA by our employees who take personal pride in delivering a top-quality product to you, with the best service.
With this technology, STOPzilla Antimalware uploads any suspicious file to our cloud-based File Reputation Database. The file is then Sandboxed, analyzed and if found malicious it is then quarantined. The malicious software's signature will then be added to our target database to protect other STOPzilla users from the same threat, which helps mitigate Zero-Day infection threats.
STOPzilla AntiMalware is powered by one of the first AntiMalware/AntiSpyware engines on the market, providing you with superior protection. STOPzilla AntiMalware uses a common cloud-based infrastructure from which it feeds its data and definitions.
As soon as an infection is first released and affects a machine with STOPzilla installed, its information is uploaded into our cloud databases and therefore if your computer is attacked by the same infection, it should stop it before even it even enters your system. This type of fast response significantly decreases the infection rate of a given virus and is a good objective for second generation antimalware programs.
A Rootkit is a malicious type of software designed to hide itself from normal methods of detection and grant administrator access and control of your computer to a 3rd party attacker. STOPzilla is optimized to prevent this type of attack.
STOPzilla AntiMalware fills in the gaps of protection left by AntiVirus software against malicious threats like Spyware, Adware, and Ransomware.
STOPzilla AntiMalware is always present standing between your PC and the threats that would harm it or divulge your private data. Real-Time protection technology actively monitors key system areas and components from malicious content or modification by viruses or malware. It actively monitors Files on disk, Processes in memory, Internet settings, Browser settings, Windows Explorer settings, Desktop settings, System start-up settings, System policy settings, Windows Hosts-file, and the Windows Registry with little or no performance degradation of your computer.
Malicious threats compromise your machine and apply complex mechanisms to prevent Security Software from installing properly or even performing a scan. Malware will block Anti-Virus software from loading their kernel mode driver, blocking any type of real-time protection features. STOPzilla's unique technology allows a successful install and scan on infected computers, and then enables removal of the infection in real-time.
STOPzilla actively protects itself from malware attacks and other threats that attempts to disable it. Viruses and Malware are designed to neutralize your computer protection to do damage or steal your information. STOPzilla has Hardening Technology which thwarts any attempt to deactivate its defense.
STOPzilla AntiVirus offers improved Malware detection rates with comprehensive coverage of a plethora of malware types, executable files, scripts, exploitable file formats, Rootkits and more. Intelligent scan technology detects Malware more efficiently and faster in areas where Viruses and Malware resides and the areas they target.
