Security Tools White Papers

Why Is WinTasks Better Than Other Spyware Removers or Security Tools?

Overview Anti-virus software and firewalls do not provide enough protection. Every day, the Internet is infected with new non-viral threats that firewalls and anti-virus software cannot stop. Firewalls are incapable of detecting spyware embedded in legitimate programs. Anti-virus software cannot detect and remove spyware, because spyware possesses different behaviors and signatures than virus threats. As a result, non-viral, malicious programs dodge your existing protection software and quietly exploit your computer. WinTasks provides a complete security solution that perfectly complements your firewall and anti-virus software.
