Press Release Body: a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5: Protection from damaging software
now with community-based intelligence!
Two a-squared products have entered the next generation. Versions 3.5 of a-squared
Anti-Malware and a-squared Free are now available. They protect your system from
Trojans, Worms, Keyloggers, Dialers, Rootkits and Spyware. a-squared Anti-Malware
now relies on the intelligence of the a-squared community to reduce false alarms.
Other new features are better self-protection, recognition of mouse and keyboard
simulators, and an extended Paranoid Mode. a-squared Free 3.5 can also now be
started from a USB stick.
Every computer that has contact with the Internet is in constant danger of being
infected with malignant Malware. a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5 establishes efficient
protection against all these damaging programs and now provides extra security for
the PCs of over four million users. Daily updates via the Internet ensure that even
very new damaging code can be recognized and eliminated via a signature comparison.
This is important because hundreds of new Malware variants create danger in the
workplace every day. Backdoors, Bots and Tracking Cookies are also recognized with
this method. However, a-squared Anti-Malware does not just rely on Signatures. The
unique Malware-Intrusion Detection System (Malware-IDS) goes one step further by
using behavioral analysis to identify and block potentially dangerous programs
before they can do any damage.
a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5: Use the intelligence of the masses
- Community-based alert reduction: Anti-Malware programs that also use behavior
analysis can be somewhat over-enthusiastic with alert messages and often raise
alarms for programs that are actually completely harmless. The system now uses
community-based alert reduction to prevent this. This system queries the
\"intelligence of the masses\". This works in the following manner: When an alert
occurs, the program checks if other users have run the same software and, if so,
whether they decided to allow or deny the program to start when the warning was
raised. a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5 then provides an appropriate recommendation based
on this analysis. A percent value can be specified in the program. For example, the
protection software can automatically allow a program to run when 90 percent of all
users have also decided to allow the same program to run.
A free 30-day trial version of a-squared Anti-Malware 3.5 is available in the
Internet. A 1-year license for the full version costs US $39.95.
