Key Features:
- Anti-Spyware Protection: Employs proprietary technology to locate and eliminate spyware, adware, tracking software, keyloggers, and other intrusive programs, ensuring the safeguarding of your personal information.
- System Immunization: Proactively defends your system by blocking access to websites known to host malicious or unwanted software. It also prevents tracking cookies and browser plugins associated with malware. This feature supports popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, and Chrome.
- Rootkit Scan: Conducts specialized scans to detect rootkits—malicious programs that conceal their presence and activities from users and system processes—by examining the file system, registry, and process-related lists.

Users can inspect and modify startup behavior, which is particularly useful if unauthorized changes are suspected.
