StartGuard Pro is a 5-Star award-winning spyware blocker that not only scans and cleans your PC, it prevents spyware, adware, dialers, Trojan horses, worms, tracking cookies, browser hijackers, and other malware from downloading in the first place. While most anti-spyware tools miss quite a lot of spyware due to incomplete or outdated definition databases, StartGuard takes spyware detection to the next level by protecting all possible entry points spyware exploits to run or install without your permission. This unique "point of entry" scanning method allows for nearly 100% spyware detection and prevention, think of it as a "program firewall" that prevents programs and other startup items that try to run without your permission.
No more missed spyware, constant definition updates, or need for manual scanning, StartGuard will automatically conduct a full system scan seconds before your Windows session loads and keep your system protected as you work with Real-Time protection. StartGuard contains many features such as Browser Immunization, System Checkpoint, and Event Logging.
