PestPatrol is a powerful security and personal privacy tool that detects and eliminates destructive pests like trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools. It complements your anti-virus and firewall software, extending your protection against non-viral malicious software that can evade your existing security software and invade your personal privacy.
These pests often lurk silently on your computer until something - or someone - sets them off. When that happens, you could lose passwords, personal data, credit card numbers, and - if you telecommute and connect to your office via a VPN - open up a back door for a hacker into your entire company network.
PestPatrol Home Edition is designed for Home Users and Small Businesses that are not operating on a Network.
