| EasyMalwareBlocker protects your computer from all kind of malware like viruses, spyware, bots, keyloggers, even rootkits, etc. A Firewall, System Tools, Parental Control and Delete Traces are also included. Version 2.0 is finally available! NEW: A Sophisticated Uninstaller You can uninstall any program which has been previously installed using our EasyMalwareBlocker (EMB) Uninstaller, including any kind of malware like trojans. Neither a Reference File nor an Uninstaller File is needed, our Uninstaller creates its own Uninstaller File! Note for computer experts: When the EMB Uninstaller is operating in Install Mode our proprietary driver records all file and registry operations which are translated to uninstall commands. Promotion: EMB Uninstaller is offered as a FREE stand alone program! NEW: Registry Protection When using EMB not only your File System (Hard Disc) is protected, now the Registry is protected too! NEW: Delete Protection Malicious software won't be able to delete your personal files like documents, photos, music or movies. Note: Delete Protection is only available for users of Internet Explorer version 6. NEW: The Installation of EasyMalwareBlocker has become much easier You just answer a few simple questions on the screen. Unlike in earlier verions you don't have to read an installation instruction manual now. NEW: The Firewall is easier to use Our Firewall (which is by the way one of the best around as it also is able to - unlike others - block dlls) has become easier to use. NEW: Windows XP Updates are supported now Earlier versions of EasyMalwareBlocker did not support Windows XP updates. Although we recommended to turn these off as in most cases they are no longer needed when EMB's FSM is running in an appropriate mode, some users might not have disabled them and therefore those who were using IE7 most likely encountered nasty freezes, so that the computer had to be restarted. However, the Internet Explorer version 7 (IE7, the one which supports tabbed browsing) can be a troublemaker when used with our program, so we don't necessarily recommend to install EMB when IE7 is installed. There are no such problems with IE6, Firefox or Opera Browsers. NEW: Improved EMB Autostart System Utility EMB Autostart now lists even more programs, dlls and drivers. A search function has also been added. NEW: EMB Test Program An Open Source (easy to understand VB6) test program which tests all the functions of the FSM and the most important ones of the Firewall is now available too! It makes the job of testing our program for professional testers, for anyone else (and for ourselfes too!) much easier. Introduction to EasyMalwareBlocker Intrusion Prevention System
EasyMalwareBlocker belongs to a new generation of Intrusion Prevention Systems. It is an easy to use program with some new and unique features never seen before. As its name implies it is a highly efficient malware blocker (what is malware ?), it automatically blocks any kind of malware like viruses, adware and spyware, trojans, keyloggers, backdoors, bots, worms, dialers, even rootkits, etc, from being (clandestinely) installed to your system while surfing the Internet (also called drive-by downloads) using any of the browsers Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera. It also protects you from malicious email attachments as executable files will be blocked (read 'Help' on the 'File System Monitor' (FSM) panel first to properly setup the FSM) (Screenshot File System Monitor). Some Internet Security programs - especially freeware - search your computer for a long time for malicious programs after these have been allowed to previously install themselves. Others work with file pattern recognizing which is never 100 % foolproof or with difficult to maintain Reference Lists to block files. EasyMalwareBlocker internally works with watching file extensions and therefore it also recogizes and blocks even the very latest malware and hardly needs any updates. EasyMalwareBlocker is fast: It adds no perceivable delays to file- and network operations including surfing the Internet - quite unlike some other Internet Security Systems. An Incoming and Outgoing Firewall is included. Unnecessarily listening ports are automatically blocked (Screenshot). Should any program try to send (personal) data over the Internet EasyMalwareBlocker safely blocks these requests if you don't allow them (Screenshot Application Control).On top of that there are useful System Check Utilities like Startup Programs (Screenshot), Compare Executable Files and more. New entries are listed separately, based on a Reference File, so that you can immediately see which programs were added (and modified or deleted) since you had EasyMalwareBlocker create the last Reference File. Our two major design goals were to offer maximum protection with minimal user intervention. Unlike in the Windows XP (and Vista too) environment you will never see unnecessary and nerve-wrecking popup messages like 'You have received a picture.bmp file. Would you like to open it?' EasyMalwareBlocker comes in two different versions, one is for Home users and the other one is for Small Business users. Most of the features are exactly the same in both versions, they slightly differ eg in the predefined genres and downloading films and music files won't be possible in the Business Version. In the 'HOME' Version (click here for detailed information) users can optionally install new programs, but for instance parents can set up EasyMalwareBlocker that installing new programs by their kids is not possible. Another feature is Delete (all) Traces (Screenshot) left when surfing the Internet. In case 'Parental Control' is being used the same password has to be entered in order to get access to the 'Delete Traces' panel. This feature is also available in the Business Version, but the correct password (eg set up by the supervisor) is always required to cleanup the System by EMB. Included in the Home Version is a sophisticated Parental Control feature (Screenshot). It has 4 predefined genres and a White- and Blacklist section. Other handy features include 'No computer access after (.. o'clock)', maximum computer and Internet times per day and 3 time frames where access to the Internet is allowed. All these features are fully customizable. Needless to say that access to the administrative part can be protected by a password. In the 'BUSINESS Version' Computer Administrators will certainly like the full protection EMB offers against installing any programs by their employees, among other features which differ from the Home version: - By default the File System Monitor is set up that NO programs and other files like *.mp3 or *.mpg, *.avi, *.flv, etc, can be downloaded by employees be it by the Internet (default) or optionally (by clicking a single button) by CD/DVDs/Floppy Diskettes or by using USB Flash Drives (memory sticks). - If new programs have to be installed only the Computer Administrator with his password has access to the FSM Panel where the normal mode can be changed to an unprotective mode so that new programs can be installed. - The Parental Control feature is called 'Supervisor Control'. It has 2 predefined genres rather than 4 as in Parental Control otherwise it has more or less the same features. - EasyMalwareBlocker also offers full protection against stealing (classified) company data by employees. Blocking any file operations on USB Memory Sticks and CD/DVD drives has already been mentioned. More sophisticated attempts by uploading data over the Internet are being blocked too. The Business Version will be available very soon. Both versions run on computers with single core and multiple core CPUs with Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit operating system (this is the configuration that an estimated 2 out of 3 computer users are working on as of January 2008). It runs on older computers too, you don't need computers with especially high CPU clock frequencies or lots of resources (700 MHz and 256 MB RAM is fine(!)). Windows XP with Service Pack 2 is required (dated about 2004). Windows updates since then can be installed voluntarily but they are not really necessary. Es ist geplant, auch eine deutsche Version anzubieten. Einige Beschreibungen zum Programm gibt es jetzt schon. Version 2.0 of EasyMalwareBlocker 'Home' is available for download now.
