World's first! EasyMalwareBlocker configures itself fully automatically!
EasyMalwareBlocker protects your computer immediately after the program has been installed and started, out-of-the-box!
There is no need to answer any cryptical questions in a setup session like in other Internet Security Programs*.
*This only applies to customers who newly install or re-install their XP Operating System (OS). Customers who do
NOT want to re-install their OS will most likely have to answer a few questions.
One Stop Shop! Combines two way Firewall, efficient File System and Registry Protection and System Check Utilities!
For maximum protection of your computer system not only one but two different kernel drivers have been implemented.
- The File System Monitor (FSM) prevents writing of any executable files to the Hard Disc. Critical sections in the Registry are protected too, eg browsers are not allowed to add new file extensions or drivers, etc.
The FSM is most useful when some websites try to clandestinely install any kind of malware (including rootkits) without anyone being aware, let alone with the consent of the user (but fail !!! because EasyMalwareBlocker indeed protects the computers in your company).
- The Network System Monitor's (also called "Firewall") main job is to prevent that any important data are being transmitted over the Internet (and the (W)LAN network) without the explicit consent of the user.
On first sight it may sound contradictionary that it was necessary to implement a Network System Monitor (Incoming Firewall) as malware is being blocked by the File System Monitor.
On a computer system where the Operating System was NOT newly installed or reinstalled some existing malware
programs may try to clandestinely transmit confidential data over the Internet. If any non-Microsoft application tries to send any kind of data over the Internet for the first time after EMB has been installed a message pops up in which you are asked for permission. You
can block or allow this request.
- EasyMalwareBlocker also provides powerful tools to show the current state of your computer and to verify its own operation.
- - Startup Programs: This utility detects and lists any kind of startup programs, drivers and dlls - and separately, in another list - newly added startup programs in typically less than 5 seconds.
- - Compare Executable Files: This utility is provided to verify the operation of EasyMalwareBlocker itself. It detects and shows newly written or deleted executable files in typically less than 3 minutes. Checking for modified files typically takes 20 .. 30 minutes*. Computer Administators can see if Ad- and/or Spyware, viruses, worms, etc, have been installed, but that should never have happened when the File System Monitor has always been in either Safe- or Super Safe Mode.
* Partition C: only, that's the most important.
For employees nothing changes after EasyMalwareBlocker has been installed. Most if not all existing programs can be used the same way as before.
Computer Administrators can easily taylor each computer in terms of accepted files and open ports according to the needs of the company.
Microsoft and leading Computer Magazines have recommendations comprising of umteen steps to protect computers.
EasyMalwareBlocker packs all these recommendations in one single program. Install and run EasyMalwareBlocker and your computers are protected! Period.
Save a lot of unproductive time!
The computers in your company are protected by default against programs (most often malware) which try to install themselves clandestinely over the Internet. Optionally, employees are NOT allowed to install programs by other means too (see next feature).
On a fully protected system by EMB therefore there is NO need to regularly run time consuming Anti Virus, Anti Spyware Programs, etc, anymore as writing any kind of malware on the File System is prevented in the first place. So there is no need to clean up the mess by running these Malware Remover Programs which often takes an hour or even more.
Employees are NOT allowed to install new programs
Employees are NOT allowed download programs from the Internet by default. In addition music and movie files are being blocked too, eg *.mp3, *.avi, *.mpg, etc.
Installing new programs by employees from any other source (CD/DVDs, USB Flash Drives, Floppy Diskettes) can be prevented at a single click on a button.
You can use your Microsoft Windows XP Operating System (Home or Pro) (TM) for years to come.
Unlike in other computers which are "protected" by competitor's Internet Security Suites - EasyMalwareBlocker does
NOT allow malware to clandestinely install itself in the first place, therefore these kind of programs do NOT have to be searched and removed afterwards.
With EasyMalwareBlocker malware can not, for instance, delete classified files or clandestinely transmit sensitive data over the Internet before this kind of malicious software is finally detected and removed.
Please read the next chapter for installing new programs of your choice.
A password is required to get access to the administrative parts of both Supervisor Control and File System Monitor. Access is denied to EasyMalwareBlocker's own folders which contain the files with sensitive data and can therefore NOT be manipulated. Working in FSM 'Save Mode' already offers full protection so that even your computer savvy employees can NOT circumvent the imposed restrictions. However, some features are not available in this mode, especially when Internet Explorer version 7 is being used.
EasyMalwareBlocker also provides tools to verify its own operation as stated above.
Installing new programs is still possible. A password has to be entered to get access to a panel on which System Administrators can temporiliy change the mode to 'Install' or 'Disable' in which the protective part concerning hard disc and registry is disabled.
After returning back to the normal protective mode EasyMalwareBlocker performs a quick system check and tells you what kind of software has been installed like drivers, Browser Helper Objects, etc.
No conceivable overall performance loss, quite unlike some competitors security suites.
Outgoing Firewall shows DLLs too!
EasyMalwareBlocker can be set up that only predefinded websites are allowed to be visited by employees.
Protection of Classified Data: Uploading data to any site can be blocked in order to prevent sending classified data over the Internet.
Programs AND modules involved in accessing the Internet are being controlled by EMB.
(The Firewall included in Microsoft's Windows XP is next to useless... It can only detect programs which send data, but modules which can do so too and which are often used by malware are simply ignored.)
EasyMalwareBlocker blocks unnecessarily listening ports so malware like viruses, adware, spyware, trojans, worms, rootkits, etc can NOT clandestinely install themselves on your computer, most often without your consent or knowledge.
Supervisor Control including:
- Predefined genres: Sports and Porn
- Customer defined wordlist (A website will be blocked if any listed word is found in it.)
- Customer defined whitelist (URLs in that list will always be correctly displayed)
- Customer defined blacklist (URLs in that list will always be blocked)
- Fully customizable allowed computer- and Internet access times (maximum time and 3 time frames)
Protection of Classified Data: Access to any USB Memory Devices and CD/DVD Drives can easily be blocked
If stealing (classified) data by employees is a problem in your company blocking access to USB Memory Devices like USB Flash Drives or External Hard Disk Drives (without mechanically glueing off USB connectors...) and CD/DVD Drives or Floppy Drives can be disabled by just clicking one single button. (All NON Memory USB Devices like printers, scanners, modems, mice and keyboards (cable and wireless types), gamesticks, etc still work normally on all USB Ports.)
Protection against uploading classified data over the Internet has already been mentioned in section 'Outgoing Firewall'.
Anti Dialer, Anti Backdoor and Anti Hijacking Protection included
- On ordinary 33k/56k Modem connections EMB protects you from being connected to (expensive) providers of dubious content.
- The computers of your company can NOT be remotely controlled by other computers without the users explicit consent. (In case a user in a remote location needs help from the System Administrator that feature can still be used.)
- The three most common browsers are protected from being hi-jacked to eg an unwanted commercial site.
This feature is only available for System Administrators with the appropriate password.
Extensive and fast System Check
EasyMalMareBlocker also provides sophisticated utilities for System Administrators who have a password to show the current state of a computer. And to verify the proper functioning of EasyMalwareBlocker too!
- 1) The utility 'Autostart' lists all most important Startup Programs and Drivers that are loaded and started at boot. 'Browser Helper Objects' (BHO) and objects started from other non-standard locations in the Registry are also shown, including a short description about the start location.
With a single click any kind of these different types of programs can be disabled (and re-enabled).
- 2) Unlike the Windows Taskmanager, EasyMalwareBlocker lists all currently running tasks, including the ones whichtry to hide themselves such as rootkits.
- 3) After a new program has been installed in 'Install' or 'Disabled' mode EasyMalwareBlocker will tell in typically less than 5 seconds whether critical components like drivers, BHOs and other objects have been installed so that corrective action can be taken if necessary.
- 4) Another handy feature is a built-in utility that compares the current list of most types of executable files with a reference file which was created at an earlier time when the computer certainly was UN-infected by malware. This is to verify the proper operation of EMB*.
- 5) There is another surprise feature we don't tell you about here. It's very useful if you want to know whether malware has indeed been blocked or not. You have got to find out yourself...*
*These utilities are working blazingly fast and are done in typically 3 minutes or less (C:\ partition
only), except 4) for 'Modified' mode.
Compare that to common Ad- and Spyware Removal Tools which usually take
about 1 hour or more to scan a computer system!
- Should any malware program "kill" EasyMalwareBlocker or the system unloads it due to a severe error a messagebox pops up to tell you that EasyMalwareBlocker is no longer running. You have the option to immediately restart it.
- The Security Monitor also warns you every time a browser is launched and EasyMalwareBlocker is either not running or in 'Disabled' or 'Install' mode, also with an option to restart it or to change the FSM Mode.
Supports Windows XP Updates
There is no need to download and install Microsoft's Windows Operating System Security Updates when EasyMalwareBlocker is running all the time in either 'Safe' or 'Super Safe' mode. However, if you feel safer even these security updates are supported.
EasyMalwareBlocker itself requires hardly any updates
Handling updates of Reference Files is done in the background and downloading them takes very little time. Changes take place immediately and automatically (you do NOT have to either install them or to reboot the computer).
However, new versions of EMB have to be downloaded and installed manually.
- The Network Driver tries hard to pass all "leaktests".
- Network Ports can be configured individually (Skype, etc).
- Your computer is even protected while booting and shooting down.
- EasyMalwareBlocker not only blocks malware, it can also remove this kind of files with a built-in tool, even in case they cannot be deleted when the system is up and running.
In short: Isn't this is the Internet Security Program you have always been looking for?
