Trlokom SpyWall Anti-Spyware Helps Stop HTML Application Vulnerability

September 1, 2005
SpyWall Web Browser Firewall/Sand box Renders Spyware Ineffective From Using Browser Exploits To Find its Victims

Monrovia, California - September 1, 2005 - Trlokom, Inc., a pioneer in anti-spyware and endpoint security software and services today announced today that the latest release of SpyWall Anti-Spyware protects against the MSHTA vulnerability that is commonly exploited coolwebsearch and other spywares. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows Shell because of the way that it handles application association. This vulnerability enables a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and install spyware when the user just views a HTML document (web page or e-mail). Internet Explorer (IE) will execute an HTML Application (HTA) referenced by the DATA attribute of an OBJECT element if the Content-Type header returned by the web server is set to "application/hta".

Because a large number of machines are still unpatched, this vulnerability is frequently exploited to install spyware without the user's consent. Trlokom's web browser firewall/sandbox and anti-spyware solution, SpyWall, will protect even unpatched machines from MSHTA and other vulnerabilities and prevent spyware from infesting the machine.

"Spyware is winning because of zero-day exploits and a large number of unpatched machines" said Jayant Shukla, founder and CEO of Trlokom. "The ability to sandbox the web browser and thwart zero-day attacks makes SpyWall unique amongst anti-spyware products. Our approach is the correct long term solution that truly reduces the burden of fighting spyware in enterprise and improves regulatory compliance."

Since its launch in June 2005, SpyWall has become a leader in spyware prevention. SpyWall is the first and only integrated firewall/sand box for the web browser and spyware cleaning tool. While all other anti-spyware products primarily focus on cleaning spyware after it is already on the PCs, SpyWall takes a very different and much more effective approach. 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 and detect almost all keyloggers without using any signatures.
