Monrovia, California - Jan 11, 2006 - Trlokom,
Inc., a pioneer in endpoint security software and services
today announced today that the latest release of SpyWall
Anti-Spyware stops the execution of most malicious ActiveX
controls. A malicious ActiveX control enables the hacker
to steal personal information or install spyware/Trojans
on the user's computer.
ActiveX controls are commonly used and are necessary for
important functions like Windows update, but they also
have significant potential to cause damage. Often the
security level for ActiveX controls are reduced by users
and that make their computers very vulnerable on the Web.
A malicious ActiveX is almost like a Trojan horse and
enables a hacker to gain access into users computer. It is
very easy for a hacker to write a malicious ActiveX and
distribute it over the Web. With the filter for malicious
ActiveX, SpyWall is able to defend against them regardless
of the security setting or user actions.
"By preventing known malicious AxtiveX controls, the
security provided by SpyWall is increased even more" said
Jayant Shukla, founder and CEO of Trlokom. "While the
sandboxing of the Web browser by SpyWall limits the damage
potential of any malicious ActiveX, we are now able to
tighten the noose even further on malicious software
executing inside the Web browser."
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.
