Spyware Protection
Protect productivity by preventing spyware installations.
Spyware programs still present one of the biggest issues for administrators despite many tools which are designed to defeat them. Hours are lost searching for and cleaning them out, and a users’ computer can be so heavily infested that it makes it almost impossible to do any sort of work as they deal with pop-ups, toolbars and endless prompt messages. Astaro’s spyware protection can keep users from infection while stopping sensitive data from being silently transmitted.
They are known by many names: spyware, malware, adware and more; programs which are usually installed accidently or under false pretenses. Once infected a user is subject to a number of undesirable consequences. Stop these programs at the gateway before they can enter the network and be installed. Astaro’s Spyware filtering can keep computers running smooth, free up administrator resources and keep employees happy and working without interruption.
Using a global, live database with billions of URLsitems classified as spyware will be blocked with an informative message to the end user. No longer will search and “not found” pages be altered and injected with advertisements. Even if the spyware is brought into the network physically on a USB drive and installed without using the Internet, Astaro can provide benefits.
Astaro’s Spyware protection reliably prevents spyware from entering the corporate network and prevents already infected systems from phoning home.
