Robot Genius, an Oakland, Calif.-based start-up, recently said to have created a new suite of security softwares developed to fight nasty software assaults such as spyware, adware, and rootkits by a threefold approach of prevention, finding and remediation. The products are able to be downloaded independently or utilized together.
The first module of the software package is RGcrawler Data, an automated Web crawler for pinpointing and trying out likely nasty software on the Internet; the 2nd is RGguard, a browser plug-in that cautions the user of possible attacks; and the 3rd is Spyberus, a behavior-enabled security client developed to hunt down and undo the results of nasty software deployed on a computer.
The company maintains that Spyberus has a 99% success rate in reversing spyware, adware, rootkits, and other types of nasty software. Free trial versions of RGcrawler Data and Spyberus can now be availed on Robot Genius’ Web site; RGguard is coming soon.
