ThreatFire - protection against zero-day threats

Notes from ClifNotes, Sep 2007, permalink PC Activity Monitoring

Jimbo wrote in with a new find. I don't know anyone who's tried it yet, so be cautious if you wish to install it. A system backup might be a good precaution.

From Jimbo:

Hi Clif - I am always on the look out for any new and innovative free security software. I see where PC Tools have recently released 'ThreatFire' which, I understand is a re-hash of 'Cyber Hawk'. The rhetoric sounds good ...

I always rely on 'user' reviews rather than a publisher's web site and would be grateful for any input from those among your savvy readers who have had experience with Threatfire.

Cheers...............JIMBO

Quote from the website
ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behaviour, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioural analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by detecting their malicious activity.
