Active Protection

Active Protection is designed to detect and block spyware attacks and threats as they happen in "real-time". ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware uses "monitors" that are designed to stay on the alert for any malware intruders.

ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware provides you with the highest level of protection while being as un-obtrusive as possible. You can set the security level to determine what actions Active Protection will take when intercepting a spyware threat.

Note: There are times when malware items take hold of your system even when you are attempting to block them. In these cases it is best to run a complete scan. If you receive more than one alert notice for the same detected item, you could have a spyware infection on your computer. For more information, see Cycle Detection.

Warning: Active Protection can conflict with other programs that utilize similar real-time blocking strategies; results will vary. We recommend that you use only one active protection mechanism.
