InterMute's SpySubtract PRO
2 Stops Computer
and Internet Snoops
Major Enhancements to Spyware Detection and
Removal Software
BRAINTREE, Mass. - March 1, 2004 - InterMute, Inc.
announced today the availability of SpySubtract PRO
2, a new version of its powerful Spyware detection
and removal software. With SpySubtract PRO 2, InterMute
now protects users' privacy by identifying thousands
of Spyware pests, annoyances and privacy threats
including adware, Trojans, key loggers, profiling
cookies, tracking software and more. In addition,
SpySubtract PRO 2 now includes advanced cleanup features
capable of deleting browser history, Internet cookies,
temporary files, program run history and much more.
Such data tracks can be used by Spyware programs,
or by anyone with access to a PC, to usurp personal
information. Plus, SpySubtract PRO's exclusive SpySleuthTM feature
allows users to learn how Spyware became installed
on their computer.
"InterMute continues to protect Internet users from
not only online annoyances, but serious privacy and
security threats such as key loggers, worms, Trojan
horses and other rogue programs," said Ed English,
CEO of InterMute. "With SpySubtract PRO 2, users
can easily scan, detect and remove unwanted snoops
from their PCs, to protect their privacy."
SpySubtract immediately scans for Spyware on your
system, providing robust privacy protection to both
novice and power users. When threats are detected,
the user is alerted and shown a list of programs
that have taken residence on their computer. Details
about the type of Spyware found, where it came from
and whether it is a serious threat or just a memory
hogging pest, adware or annoyance, is displayed.
A user can have SpySubtract thoroughly remove the
unwanted files from their computer.
In addition to removing Spyware and other unwanted
programs, SpySubtract PRO 2 takes history cleaning
to the next level with new shredding capabilities
based on the US Department of Defense's cleaning
and sanitizing standard, DOD 5220.22-M. SpySubtract
can rip through heaps of unwanted files, browser
history, Internet cookies, document history, and
temporary or cache files on a user's hard drive,
to make them unreadable by snoops.
Additional Features
SpySubtract PRO 2 also includes these key features:
SPYSLEUTHTM TECHNOLOGY
SpySubtract's "SpySleuth" feature is the first
and only Spyware removal program that shows the
user when Spyware was installed, and if detectable,
shows which other programs on your PC may have
installed the Spyware. By unmasking the source
of Spyware, users may avoid reloading unwanted
programs in the future.
FAST, ACCURATE DETECTION
SpySubtract provides fast and accurate detection
of Spyware programs and other privacy threats.
With extremely fast scanning of every file, SpySubtract
is up to 4X faster than other Spyware removal software.
Unlike other programs which identify Spyware simply
by filenames, SpySubtract PRO 2 carefully qualifies
Spyware threats by applying a MD5 checksum test
on suspect files, to minimize false positives.
ADVANCED SCANNING OPTIONS
Run a quick scan for a fast, convenient analysis
of common privacy risks, or choose a full scan
to thoroughly scan your computer for all known
traces of Spyware. SpySubtract's scheduling option
lets you perform automatic scans to provide continuous
protection no matter what your schedule.
REAL-TIME PROCESS MONITORING
Just like anti-virus software, SpySubtract monitors
your computer's memory in real-time to make sure
Spyware is not running on your PC. If found, it
instantly alerts you and allows the Spyware to
be disabled and removed.
SPYWARE DEFINITION UPDATES
To ensure protection from the latest threats as
they emerge, SpySubtract PRO includes one year
of Spyware definition updates.
Availability
SpySubtract PRO 2 is available at www.intermute.com
for a free 30 day trial and may be purchased for
$29.95 online or at major retail outlets. Site licensing
and OEM distribution is available.
