Detect browser hijacking attempts and more as they are happening.

SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.

Features Listing

* Fast Real-Time Scanning engine - catch and block spyware before it is executed (EXE and CAB files supported) with signature-based scanning for known spyware and heuristic/generic detection capabilities to catch new/mutated spyware
* Download Protection - prevent spyware from being download in Internet Explorer
* Browser Hijacking Protection - stop browser hijacking activity in real-time
* Small size - with a small size and small definition sizes, download and updates are quick
* Report Capabilities - keep a detailed log of all spyware detected
* Spyware files are blocked before being opened or run - they are not simply shut down after they are loaded in memory (and after they have performed their tasks)
* It's a free download

A Work-in-Progress While we do strive to fix any compatibility problems that may arise, we cannot guarantee that it will not conflict with other security software on your machine. SpywareGuard has also not been tested with Windows Vista.

If you are worried about potential compatibility issues with SpywareGuard, we recommend that you download SpywareBlaster instead - our no-nonsense, polished anti-spyware solution.
