Security Task Manager is a computer utility designed to offer full access to the processes running in Windows. In addition to the range of information that usually appears in the Windows Task Manager, Security Task Manager also offers additional features, such as an independent, non-certificate based safety rating system that is based on behavioral analysis of code and processes, rather than relying on malware signature files, which become outdated over time. Security Task Manager’s main focus is on your computer’s currently running processes, and offers a great deal of information on them: process name, CPU usage, memory usage, file name and location, process type (Program, Service, etc.), company name, security rating, and more. The program is well-suited to any office, medical or academic environment where you have to rely on efficient behavior, both in your employees and in your hardware. Security Task Manager will also help you keep an eye out for any malware, be it a virus, a Trojan, or any variety of non-sanctioned monitoring software. The Protector security software, which comes free with the paid version of Security Task Manager, actively shuts down any sort of keystroke logging software, programs that are designed to steal passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, company secrets and other sensitive information. The Protector will also catch any mouse movement monitoring software, and will alert you if the Windows Registry has been tampered with. In case you do find a process that seems less than trustworthy, you can isolate it using Security Task Manager’s quarantine function, which allows you to select, isolate, and, if needed, delete the offending process from your system. Quarantine is a useful option if you are not sure whether or not the process in question is actually malicious. The Security Task Manager program, as well as the included Protector, is available for Windows XP and newer, including Windows 8.

Emsisoft Internet Security is a Antivirus, Anti-Malware, Firewall, all-in-one. It cleans and protects your PC from all internet threats: viruses, spyware, trojans, bots, adware and worms, reinforced by a strong firewall. It uses a triple-layer prevention engine: Surf Protection, Real-time File Guard and Behavior Blocker.

Surf Protection blocks access to fraudulent and dangerous websites, while the Real-time File Guard scans for more than 10 million types of malware in real-time. It recognizes dangers immediately when they try to run or are being downloaded from the Web. New malware signature updates are available at least 24 times per day.

The third layer, the Behavior Blocker with Live Cloud-Verification, scans and monitors all running programs at all times. It prevents new, sophisticated malware attacks and catches zero-day threats that aren’t yet included in the signature database. As soon as a program does something suspicious, it’s stopped and alerted.

The fourth layer, Anti-Ransomware, intercepts ransomware before even the first file gets encrypted, while competitors often rely on detection of a repeated encryption action.

An intelligent firewall closes off and hides your system when using public networks. Your PC will be practically invisible. The Firewall has minimal firewall alerts and is quick and easy to use, with the ability to evaluate the credibility of programs in a global context. It can remove potentially unwanted programs such as ads or toolbars. Includes IPv6 support.
