Trlokom SpyWall Protects Against Malicious ActiveX That Bypass ActiveX Killbit Protection

February 3, 2006
SpyWall Web Browser Sandbox Prevents Malicious ActiveX Controls, That Can Bypass the Killbit Protection To Attacks User's PC

Monrovia, California - Feb 3, 2006 - Trlokom, Inc., a pioneer in endpoint security software and services today announced today that its flagship product, SpyWall Anti- Spyware, protects PCs from malicious ActiveX controls that are able to bypass the killbit protection. Due to a flaw in the Internet Explorer web browser, malicious ActiveX controls can defeat the security mechanism and execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable PC.

It is very easy for a hacker to write a malicious ActiveX and distribute it over the Web. With this newly discovered vulnerability, it is very easy for user's PC to get hacked if they knowingly or unknowingly visit malicious/compromised web sites. Since many anti-virus and anti-spyware vendors rely on the ActiveX KillBit as the only mechanism to defend against malicious ActiveX, users of those products are extremely vulnerable.

Security architecture of SpyWall is able to defend against malicious ActiveX even if there are flaws in the web browser that can be exploited by attackers.

"SpyWall sandbox for the web browser ensures that a malicious ActiveX control is not able to inflict any damage on the user's PC" said Jayant Shukla, founder and CEO of Trlokom. "SpyWall's success in protecting against attacks that exploit application vulnerabilities once again shows our significant lead over competition."

Since its launch in June 2005, SpyWall has become a leader in spyware prevention and safe Web access. SpyWall protects the Web browser and defeats any attack that may take place while the user is surfing the web. While all other anti- spyware products primarily focus on cleaning spyware after it is already on the PCs, SpyWall's unique approach provides a far more effective solution.

SpyWall keeps the PC free of resource-sucking adware and spyware and prevents malware from ever reaching the system by sandboxing the Web browser and preventing malicious Web sites from exploiting vulnerabilities. SpyWall is also able to block phishing attacks, detect almost all key loggers without using any signatures, control access to undesirable web sites, and perform web usage monitoring for individual users.
