Remote control virus(malware) transmits screens to other parties(criminal). “Optimal Guard” prevents unauthorized screen transmission by detecting screen transfer caused by remote control viruses.
Malware records character strings input by users, and sends out the information to other parties (criminal). “Optimal Guard” blocks transmitting input information by detecting key logger programs.
If a user clicks a link on a message board, malware (malicious JavaScript) runs and posts unauthorized messages to a certain web site. “Optimal Guard” blocks unauthorized posts to a web site.
“Optimal Guard” records communication logs (packet logs) for future analysis.
Antivirus software determines viruses by comparing them with pattern files, which means viruses not listed on pattern files cannot be detected. On the other hand, “Optimal Guard” detects behaviors caused by virus software, which allows protecting PCs from unknown viruses. “Optimal Guard” will be sold through OPTiM’s reselling partners at 9,800 (tax excluded) starting from late January.
