PestPatrol Eliminates the Danger of Sony's Rootkit -
Learn more about XCP.Sony.Rootkit
PestPatrol is a powerful
security and personal privacy tool that detects and eliminates
destructive pests like trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools.
It complements your anti-virus and firewall software, extending your
protection against non-viral malicious software that can evade your
existing security and invade your personal privacy.
These pests often lurk silently on
your computer until something – or someone – sets them off. When
that happens, you could lose passwords, personal data, credit card
numbers, and - if you telecommute and connect to your office via a
VPN - open up a back door for the hacker into your entire company
network.
Unexplained computer
behavior may be caused by deceptive software.
You may experience any one
or more of the following symptoms:
- When you start
your computer, or when your computer has been idle
for many minutes, your Internet browser opens to
display Web site advertisements.
- When you use your
browser to view Web sites, other instances of your
browser open to display Web site advertisements.
- Your Web browser's
home page unexpectedly changes.
- Web pages are
unexpectedly added to your Favorites folder.
- New toolbars are
unexpectedly added to your Web browser.
- You cannot start a
program.
- When you click a
link in a program, the link does not work.
- Your Web browser
suddenly closes or stops responding.
- It takes a much
longer time to start or to resume your computer.
- Components of
Windows or other programs no longer work.
CAUSE
This issue may occur when
deceptive software such as spyware or unauthorized
adware is installed on your computer. This type of
software may come bundled with software that you want to
install or may be included with downloaded Web
components.

PestPatrol
Review:
PestPatrol defeats the threat by detecting and removing:
- Spyware and
adware that "phones home" information about you, your
computer, and your surfing habits
- Remote
access trojans (RATs) that allow an attacker to remotely
control your computer
- Keystroke
loggers that can steal passwords and other confidential data
-
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack agents that can crash or hang
a program, or your entire system
- Probe tools
that look for vulnerabilities on your system that a hacker can
exploit

PestPatrol is similar to anti-virus
products, but instead of scanning for viruses, it scans for Spyware and
Trojans, and even tools and utilities used by hackers and maybe even trusted
employees. Used along with anti-virus software, PestPatrol will keep you
safe from malicious objects, commonly
referred to as Pests.
How does PestPatrol differ from anti-virus products?
Anti-virus products focus on viruses;
PestPatrol focuses on every other sort of computer pest, including ANSI
bombs, answering machine hacks, carding, denial of service attack tools,
disassemblers, virus droppers, hacking guides, hostile Java, icq, key
loggers, mail bombers, password crackers, phreaking, surreptitious remote
control, remote monitoring, network scanning, sniffers, spoofers, spyware,
surveillance, Trojans, Trojan creation tools, virus creation tools, virus
writing tools, and word lists used by password crackers. As a result,
PestPatrol detects more such pests, and is much faster than anti-virus
products.
