Conventional antivirus products use scanning engines that rely on a library of known viruses. Cures or scripts that attack these viruses are written and released only AFTER a new threat has been discovered and the virus is out infecting computers. Scanning with conventional antivirus products can take hours and can negatively impact PC performance. Worse – if the virus finds you before your antivirus software knows about the virus, you’re infected! PC Armor monitors the behavior of your computer and can stop viruses and malware without knowing about them first. This gives you full protection from all threats that other antivirus products can't!

1) RG Crawler – The computer industry’s first automated server Internet crawler and testing farm. We surf the entire Internet to find and test every executable on every web site on the planet. Because RG Crawler works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week / 365 days per year – we can cover the entire Internet every few months! This information is then fed to RG Guard plugged into your Internet browser.
 
2) RG Guard – "Know Before You Go!" The data received from the RG Crawler server farm is passed on to the RG Guard browser plug-in and displays color coded boxes to tell you which websites have bad programs and which sites are clean of any viruses or malware BEFORE you enter.
 
3) PC Armor – Because antivirus is NOT Enough. Using a patent pending methodology, PC Armor is the leading-edge behavior-based technology that protects your computer’s core from malicious programs and viruses in a way standard antivirus software cannot. PC Armor does not have to know about a virus or malware program ahead of time to protect your PC (conventional antivirus software has to know about a threat, so they can write a "cure").

One of our customers' 12 year old ignored the PC Armor™ red warning box next to the URL of a screensaver website that contained some malicious programs. She downloaded a screensaver of a cute kitty and the download included a hidden bad executable (Trojan type virus) that attacked our customer’s computer and attempted to seize the contact info out of her address book in her e-mail program. The little girl allowed the install through the default Vista Allow/Block installation pop-up window and it appeared all was well.

The next day, the hidden Trojan (designed to sleep for 24 hours before attacking so it’s not obvious to the user where the attack came from) woke up and attacked Outlook attempting to seize the contact info in the address book and send it "home" to the pirate that created the malicious program. PC Armor™ caught it and displayed a window telling our customer what is going on and asked her if she wants to "Allow" or "Do Not Allow" this action. Through the PC Armor™ pop-up window our customer was able with the click of her mouse to see that the malicious code came in with the cute kitty screensaver install the day before. She was not only able to not allow the malware’s attempt to attack her Outlook program but she was able to literally uninstall the malware and restore her system to the point before her daughter installed the bad screensaver program.

PC Armor™ is the ONLY PC security application in the world that allows her to expose the source of the bad program and restore her system (literally uninstalling) back to its state prior to the unintentional mistake of allowing something bad to come in. All other security software programs would be UNABLE to help her undo this attack or fix the damage that would have been done to her PC as they do not have this capability. The other products would only be able to clean off the virus with a script ONLY if they knew about the virus in advance, and it was in their library and was activated through a scan. If the virus WAS in their library when her child downloaded the cute kitty, the child still would have had the option to allow the installation with other security products.

But with other solutions, our customer would have run the risk of having to re-install her programs and try to recover data through her back-ups (if she has them) as they cannot "undo" what was done in terms of application or system damage. With PC Armor™, our customer was able to prevent any damage by clicking DO NOT ALLOW and, by hitting a couple of buttons, uninstall the bad program that attempted to take over her Outlook and get back to where she was before her 12 year old downloaded the cute kitty. This proactive function of PC Armor™ to stop threats before they happen without ever having seen the threat before is one of the most unique features of PC Armor™ that produces the best security coverage of any PC security product on the market today.

NOTE: With the unique "Take Control" feature. In the event that malware was allowed to invade your computer, and the invasion was so serious that it disabled the usability of your programs completely, the Take Control feature will allow you to shut down all the processes of the computer allowing only those needed for PC Armor™ Take Control to continue to run. This allows you to restore (uninstall whatever was installed) the computer to its state prior to the invasion.

Even if you transfer a virus from one machine to another using a PC transfer tool, when the virus or malware "wakes up" and tries to do something to the new machine, PC Armor™ will catch it as the behavior of the machine will have changed. PC Armor™ knows what’s right and warns you if something is wrong.
