Spyware and adware have changing methods to infect your computer and to thwart detection and removal. You can play a key role in staying one step ahead of new computer spyware and adware by voluntarily participating in SpyShield from Spyware Nuker XT. Users that join SpyShield help identify new threats by submitting anonymous scan results. Virus Reviews of this data directly results in improvements to the Anti Spyware with Active Protection database signatures which in turn helps to better protect us all.
When Active Protection is enabled, SpywareNuker tracks execution of every program in the system and notifies you if a program being started is a potential threat. If a threat is detected, Spyware Nuker will pop up a message offering an option to prevent suspicious from running or to allow it to run. This is a critical method of protection and prevents your system from even becoming infected by spyware or adware. Active Protection Alerts provide the ability to block or trust a program identified as a potential threat. Stop this program – Causes the detected process to be stopped and not allowed to run. This is the recommended method and will prevent further infection of your system. Trust this program – Causes the detected process to be allowed to run. Select this option if you wish to allow the execution of the process detected. Apply always for this file – Adds the detected process to the Active Protection list so it can be automatically stopped or always trusted, depending on your selection, each time the process is detected in the future.
