Traditional antivirus protection fails you when you need it most.
Consumers spend over a billion dollars a year on security software to
keep their PCs safe. And yet every week millions of users are infected
by new threats that their antivirus did not stop, failing to protect
when you most needed it. Why? Traditional antivirus solutions cannot
protect you until after they've discovered a new threat and produced a
signature to counter it.
Cyberhawk does not rely on signatures, but
instead provides behavior-based protection. It is designed to be used
alongside your existing antivirus software and it fills the gap in
protection between your antivirus signature updates. Cyberhawk protects
you against major security threats including viruses, worms, trojans,
rootkits and even some spyware. Its advanced ActiveDefense technology
intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes and programs on a
system and immediately halts any malicious action.
It continuously
monitors all activities on your PC at a very low system level and uses
a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, program
histories and tolerance thresholds to identify and shut down threats so
you are always protected, no matter how new the threat. Cyberhawk is
easy to use, instantly effective, and very light on system resources.
Best of all, choose between the advanced Pro version or the free Basic
version.
