TruPrevent Technologies: host-based intrusion prevention system
The TruPrevent intrusion prevention system detects and blocks unknown viruses that other conventional antivirus solutions are frequently unable to neutralize. To be able to detect a virus, an antivirus needs the corresponding entry in its signature file. Many of the latest generation malicious codes spread almost instantly, infecting thousands of computers even if they have antivirus protection, as the solution cannot be updated in time. TruPrevent analyzes the behavior of these programs on a computer, and blocks any suspicious activity.
