Just came upon this page. Are they legit?

-{ Quote: "Guard system folders - Active Shield guards system folders and warns about any changes inside them (copy, creation or deletion of files). It will also try to restore deleted critical system files. This feature prevents a lot of trojans and spyware (even unknown) from installing into your system." }-I been looking for this feature in particular to surface in our other security HIPS and/or programs.

Thanks for link, this one's definitely new so remains to be seen how it stacks up.

Anyone?

Be cautious. Although True Sword was delisted on Spyware Warrior, I personally still don't trust it. I recently had a squared installed and it found a Trace Spyware that was from a very old installation of True Sword that I had done at one time.

As duke stated Spyware Warrior delisted this.(True Sword)


RougeRemover flags it as rouge.


Linkscanner Pro's warning.

Hi,

I use SensiveGuard for this, for access to C-drive for programs with internet connection, P2P and e-mail when not initiated by (deny create, change, write for file types:)

*.exe, *.com, *.dll, *.tlb, *.ocx, *.vxd, *.sys, *.ini,*.hta, *.drv

Problem with SensiveGuard is, when it works on your hardware it is a great program (network and file access = firewall and datawall), pitty the developers did not test the freeware version tested on all sorts of hardware.
