Traditional antivirus protection fails you when you need it most. Consumers spend over a billion dollars a year on security software to keep their PCs safe. And yet every week millions of users are infected by new threats that their antivirus did not stop, failing to protect when you most needed it. Why? Traditional antivirus solutions cannot protect you until after they've discovered a new threat and produced a signature to counter it. ThreatFire does not rely on signatures, but instead provides behavior-based protection. It is designed to be used alongside your existing antivirus software and it fills the gap in protection between your antivirus signature updates. ThreatFire protects you against major security threats including viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits and even some spyware. Its advanced ActiveDefense technology intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes and programs on a system and immediately halts any malicious action. It continuously monitors all activities on your PC at a very low system level and uses a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, program histories and tolerance thresholds to identify and shut down threats so you are always protected, no matter how new the threat. ThreatFire is easy to use, instantly effective, and very light on system resources. Best of all, choose between the advanced Pro version or the Free Edition.

On-demand antivirus scanner now available in ThreatFire Free, new Threat Detection map, System Activity Monitor for viewing detailed process information, alerts were reworked and now provide enhanced technical info, and new options for default alert handling.
