Realtime-protection of all relevant processes
Windows® doesn’t offer sufficient protection yet at all to ward off all threats coming from the internet. Hijacker, dialer, spyware tools, worms, adware programs, Trojan horses, key logger and rootkits: Besides typical virus programs, there is a lot of malware that can penetrate the computer as soon as an unsafe internet connection is established.

Ashampoo presents its new protection program Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 which offers twice as much protection as the previous version. Having run a full computer scan for possible infections, the program will remove the infected files immediately. A permanent active background scanner will notify you in advance and offer real-time protection for the computer. While connected to the internet the program makes sure that new malware won’t have any chance to enter your system through the back door.

Virus definitions on more than 760,000 threats are already included you will be protected against. Virus signatures will be updated online on a regular basis so that your weapon never gets blunt. Thus, securing that even most recent spyware will be safely identified. Heuristic search patterns will repel even malware that is not yet known but will get identified through suspicious actions.


Twice as good as the predecessor

Windows Vista™ users now also can make use of the new Ashampoo AntiSpyWare program offering perfect protection against all evil that might come from the internet and which will take possession of your hard drive. This fact shouldn’t be underestimated since Windows Vista™’s onboard-tools don’t offer enough protection to keep spyware threats especially under control. Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 locks directly into Windows Vista™ Gadget working as an information and control operation centre for security issues.

A lot has been achieved during the leap from the first version of Ashampoo AntiSpyWare to the second. Everything is twice as good as before from now on. This applies to enhanced real-time protection also. In comparison to the previous version, the protective guard will now have an eye on even more Windows® tasks. Therefore destructive tools, spyware programs and Trojan horse won’t have any chance to settle down on the system since they will already be identified and removed upon their first strike.

In case of infection the program offers now an Online malware databank. When Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 finds one of the 760,000 known threats you will get online information as to the nature of the parasite program and which damage it poses when in real danger.

If you want to exclude certain folders and files from scan control, since the program will give “false alarm” for various reasons, then these paths can be added to a whitelist. Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 will not search for potential threats in those files and folders. To prevent malware from secretly adding itself, the whitelist is being encrypted and therefore stored securely.

It has a brand-new multi-user support. Personal settings can be adjusted and stored by every single user when used by several persons. When using the software the next time those settings will be quickly restored.
