Tizer Makes Several Key Enhancements for Final Product Launch

by Admin on Oct.22, 2009, under Tizer Secure

icon-onlyAfter months of beta testing and making product improvements based on feedback gathered from a large number of beta testers and users, Tizer Secure™ has launched with several improved key product features and technical enhancements that provide unmatched malware protection, privacy and performance for Windows PC users.

Polymorphic Virus Scan

A polymorphic virus makes slight changes in its code in order to spread itself, undetected, on a user’s machine. The newly copied virus with its brand new code evades traditional security software because it’s not in its database of malware signatures.

Tizer Secure™ completely scans a user’s PC for confirmed virus threats in the database and suspect virus threats that match our heuristic and behavioral algorithm. It then takes the code from each of those confirmed and suspect threats and, chunk by chunk, compares it to the other files and processes on the computer. If a close match is found, Tizer Secure™ classifies the match as a new suspect threat.

UPX Packing Recognition

Most of today’s viruses pack themselves within a protective shield that gets executed in much the same way that a legitimate software application is packed inside an EXE file. Windows PC users don’t know that the real virus is hiding inside the pack until it’s already executed.

Many antivirus software applications cannot read a virus within a UPX packing system. Tizer Secure™, however, opens the package and checks to see if there is a virus inside before it’s executed.

Site Block

In addition to adding about 50,000 malicious sites to the blocked sites list, the Tizer Secure’s™ site blocker list works across all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and more.

Process Monitor Messages

Instead of prompting the user to take action when a process needs to be stopped, Tizer Secure™ added a process driver that includes an artificial intelligence that takes the action for you without prompting you or giving you a warning message every time a process has to be stopped.

Conficker Protection

The Conficker worm exploits a vulnerability in the Windows Server Service to replicate. It then travels through the network looking for other machines with the same vulnerability to infect next. Conficker also copies itself onto USB devices, such as memory sticks and MP3 players that plug into infected PCs. Thus, the worm spreads to the next PC through the infected USB device.

We have successfully added Conficker protection technology to Tizer Secure™. This protection uses the heuristic and behavioral analysis to detect all variants of the Conficker Worm and Conficker-type malware. It then uses a driver-based tool to remove these variants.

Rootkit Protection

Since rootkits are increasingly being used by cyber-criminals to get into computer systems and steal private information, our developers have beefed up Tizer Secure’s™ rootkit protection. By tracking rootkits through the processes they hide, Tizer Secure™ can more accurately expose them. Also, seeing these hidden processes makes it easier to remove rootkits without destabilizing the user’s system.

Malware Deletion without Restart

Many antivirus applications require a complete system restart in order to remove any virus that is hidden or shared in the memory of the system. Tizer Secure™ has added a technology that can now delete any virus—even if it is hidden or shared in the memory and cannot be deleted in its normal form—without the need to restart the machine.

Enhanced Database

Through user’s reports and research from our development team, Tizer Secure™ has added more than 65,000 new malware signatures to its ever-growing database over the past month.

Improved Detection Quality in Scans

Tizer Secure™ has improved the detection quality of its heuristics and behavioral scans. While Tizer Secure™ does not include operating system files in its scan results, our scan will be able to detect if an attacker has mislabeled a malicious file as an operating system file or as a fictitious or well-known brand name. These impersonator files will be deleted.

Application Hardening

Our developers have also added a new driver that provides application hardening protection to keep viruses from deleting or infecting the Tizer Secure™ registry keys and binaries on the PC. No process will be able to close or delete any of the Tizer Secure™ files, except for Tizer itself.

Government finally onboard with computer security

by Admin on Jun.03, 2009, under Computer Security

How many years have we been an internet nation? We have collected masses of personal, financial and business information online with the only thing standing between your private data and a thief are the few number and letters you have in your security password.And if you think protecting your private information is important, just imagine the risk these threats pose to our overall economy and national security.

But, it seems the issue of internet security has taken center stage in Washington as President Obama has announced the creation of a National Cyber Security post. Calling this a transitional moment for the country, Obama says “It’s now clear this cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation.”

Consider this: the computer networks that house all of the information we hold so dear are the same computer networks that attackers hit millions of times each day. This is especially true given recent events that have made headlines.

A report published in March by the universities of Cambridge and Toronto alleges the Chinese government used social-malware in the form of rootkits and Trojans to secretly monitor the Tibetan movement. A little closer to home, though, a mystery computer virus struck U.S. law enforcement computers last week, forcing the FBI and the U.S. Marshals to shut down part of their computer networks.

No matter if we’re talking about an entire country’s military security or the safety of your own nest egg, these instances highlight why the creation of a National Cyber Security post is so important (and overdue). It’s never too soon to start get protection from internet threats, but, in some cases, it can be too late.

Tizer Secure™ Beta released for testing.

Promising to revolutionize the computer security industry, Chapel Hill, NC-based X-Wire Technology has launched the beta version of its new all-in-one internet security solution, Tizer Secure™.

Tizer Secure™ Beta is a robust internet security solution for Windows PC users that offers protection, privacy and performance to Windows PC users. Its robust tools find both verified and unverified malware threats, stop infections at the point of entry, protect privacy, optimize performance and remove hard-to detect rootkits.

Tizer Secure™ Beta is built around the Adaptive Heuristics for Early Detection (AHED) and the Hidden Process Rootkit Detection systems. After Tizer Secure™ scans the computer and compares its files and processes to a database of active malware threats, its AHED scan uses its proprietary algorithm to identify any potentially harmful files, processes and rootkits that are not in the database.

To learn more about Tizer Secure™ Beta, take a look at our press release or download it directly from our site.
