Gigantic Features of the Giant Anti-Spyware Program
There are many anti-spyware programs that have come out since the buzz about spyware has caused worldwide PC crashes a-plenty. But users should be aware that there are many anti-spyware programs that actually work like a spyware, and are not as effective as the authentic ones. Fortunately, there is Giant Anti-Spyware that is tried and tested to effectively detect and eliminate spyware. Gooroo, Inc., creator of Adware Report, a review of PC security software products, rates it as one of the top ten anti-spyware products for 2005. Read this article to find out its gigantic features.
Full Detection of Spyware
The key to an anti-spyware’s effectivity is its ability to recognize the enemy. And with Giant Anti-Spyware, you are assured that Giant is keeping tabs of its every step. Through a collection of a million and more signatures, Giant’s Spyware Library recognizes most known threats to your PC and uses the database as an underlying structure to its anti-spyware effectivity.
With a comprehensive database, the first feature of this effective anti-spyware is its full scanning capabilities. Giant Anti-Spyware searches for spyware residing anywhere in your PC, both in RAM and hard drive. This is an important feature because most spyware resides and operates in RAM, but its ancillary systems, such as tracking cookies reside in the hard disk folders. So covering both bases allows for a total system inspection. In addition to spyware residing in your PC, Giant Anti-Spyware detects other signs of spyware activities such as changing the browser homepage, tracking cookies, editing PC registry, appearance at start-up and self re-installation.
To reinforce the detection and elimination capabilities of this program, it also offers additional functionalities to provide options to the user to set-up his PC to discourage spyware. Tracks Eraser cleans up your Internet activity: history logs, browsing activity trails, and temporary folders. This tool can be used for the Web browser and other Web-enabled Windows programs. Secure File Shredder provides a “secure file destruction,” and removes all remnants of the file.
Real-Time Protection
Another feature of the Giant Anti-Spyware program is its ability to protect your PC against spyware for every minute that you are using it. Giant uses its 50+ Security Agents to monitor your computer for any spyware activity. Any possible threats will be blocked or Giant will prompt you for your preferred action.
Immunization
The third most important purpose of an anti-spyware program would be to immunize your PC, called System Innoculation. Just like protecting yourself with vaccinations, it protects your PC from known spyware. And because spyware creators release new threats almost on a daily basis, Giant’s AutoUpdater will automatically download updates to the spyware database to make sure it is concurrent with the latest threats. As an added option, Giant users can be part of SpyNet™, a network of Giant Anti-Spyware users exchanging information on latest buzz about PC security.
Gigantic Take-over
This is probably one of the few articles to talk about Giant Anti-Spyware as “Giant” because since the beginning of 2005, the Giant name has assumed an even gigantic appellation with its acquisition by Microsoft. Now, it is called Microsoft Anti-Spyware. While Bill Gates is still busy keeping Windows™ bug-free, download Giant a.k.a Microsoft Anti-Spyware at http://www.microsoft.com/spyware and get all the benefits listed above for FREE; it used to retail at $29.95. Now that’s a Giant of savings for you!
