NovaShield's Signature-Less Anti-Malware Solution

NovaShield's Unique Behavior-Based Approach is Effective Against Unknown Threats

NovaShield Anti-Malware does not rely on a signature database to detect emerging and unknown threats; rather it uses a behavior-based approach to identify malicious activities in real-time. NovaShield’s pioneering approach has achieved a much better rate of malware detection and fewer false positives than current commercially available products. In doing so, the NovaShield approach greatly complements the protection provided by signature-based detectors. The addition of NovaShield to the security arsenal of the consumer offers the following advantages:

• Protection against unknown threats:

   NovaShield protects against threats that have not been seen before, a challenging task that traditional signature-based anti-malware products cannot do. Hence, NovaShield can reduce the risk of your computers being infected with malware, and protect you against threats such as identify theft.

• Protection against emerging threats:

   NovaShield protects against the looming threats of Trojans, rootkits, keyloggers, and botnets that may be too sophisticated to be detected from signature scanning.

• Remediation:

   NovaShield monitors file system and registry activity as part of its detection engine. If a threat is discovered, NovaShield knows exactly what files and registry items it created and can clean up your system by removing both the malware and the items it created or modified.

• Lightweight:

   NovaShield is lightweight in its use of system resources and will not slow down your computer or consume lots of memory.

• No need for frequent updates:

   Because NovaShield uses policies rather than signatures to detect malicious behavior, it does not require frequent updates. NovaShield receives updates only for patches and the addition of policies that recognize new types of malicious behavior.
