Publisher's Description:

Ashampoo AntiSpyWare can monitor and protect your computer continuously. A little background program checks every suspicious file for potential hazards before it is opened, making it impossible for Trojans to install themselves on your computer. Building on existing solutions combined with intelligent new strategies and algorithms it provides exceptional protection against spyware and other malware. Its advanced heuristic search and analysis system can actually identify and block new and unknown threats before they can do any damage.

Ashampoo AntiSpyWare can even identify the presence of highly dangerous “rootkits”. These are a new breed of malware that install code with administrator rights deep in the operating system. This code makes the malware completely invisible to Windows, and thus also to applications like virus scanners. Because of this, virus scanners and anti-spyware tools are normally powerless against rootkits.
