Achilles'Shield
Achilles'Shield is an advanced Internet security protection application specifically designed to stop new viruses and malicious code. It can be used alone, as the only virus and malware protection, or it can be used together with a leading anti-virus scanner and provide "protection between updates," when the scanner does not yet have the new virus's code in its database. Achilles'Shield stops viruses, Trojans and worms by their distinct behavior, not by their signature code, and, therefore, it does not have a database of anti-virus signatures that requires updating. Because it can be used as added protection, if you have a scanner, we recommend you keep it alive. Our Review: Achilles'Shield provides a high level of protection against viruses and malicious attacks from the internet. Immediately after installing it will go to work vaccinating your files and keeping a record of how they should be when they are virus-free. From this point Achilles'Shield will be able to detect any malicious changes including macro-attacks within Word/Excel, Boot viruses, Trojans, and Worms. It does not need to be updated to protect against new viruses - Achilles'Shield is able to detect suspicious behaviour based on the unwanted effects an attack tries to initiate. Provides protection for Outlook email and zip archives - a real Shield against malicious attacks.
