PestPatrol is a powerful security tool that detects and eliminates: Denial-of-service attack agents, remote access trojans (RATs), password crackers, key loggers, port scanners, and rogue applications that "phone home" user and system information without permission. These pests create "back doors" into your systems, compromising network security and exposing the organization to litigation. It detects and disables or removes thousands of pests quickly and safely. It maintains a round-the-clock research lab to search out, identify, and dissect new pests. Scan strings for these new pests are made available via the PestPatrol web site as soon as they've been tested. Both it and the scan can be set to update automatically whenever the software is run.
