Proactive Protection

Auto-Protect

Auto-Protect continuously monitors your system's memory in search of threats.  Some threats can cause harm to your computer just seconds after running, so enabling Auto-Protect is an important step to stopping those threats dead in their tracks. 

If a threat is detected you will be alerted automatically, and you will be given the option to stop the threat from running.  We recommend performing a system scan immediately afterwards to remove any files or registry entries that the threat may have created.

Home Page Hijack Protection

Many spyware and adware programs will attempt to change your Internet Explorer Home Page and direct you to another site.  Their motiviation might be to get you to download new adware/spyware, display ads to bring in revenue, or direct you to a webpage that pays them for web traffic.  Enabling Home Page Hijack Protection will allow us to alert you whenever your homepage changes, and allow you to choose whether or not to allow that change to be made. 

Run at Windows Startup

Enabling this option will allow this program to run automatically whenever you turn on your computer.  We recommend leaving this option checked all the time.
