Cyberhawk provides behavior-based security
monitoring to protect you from malicious programs such as Trojans, viruses, malware and other threats without relying on any
signature updates. It can (should) be used along with your regular anti-virus program or firewall, adding an additional level
of security to your system. The program works by continuously analyzing the behavior of processes and programs on your system
and immediately alerts you if it detects any suspicious actions - you can then decide whether to allow or block the activity.
Cyberhawk comes ready-to-use and does not require any difficult configuration, however it also offers flexible rule settings
that allow advanced users to customize the protection.

Spybot - Search & Destroy
detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not
yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile
for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars
in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home
page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware.
Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D
is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

SpywareGuard provides a real-time protection solution against so-called spyware.
It works similar to an anti-virus program, by scanning EXE and CAB files on access and alerting you if known spyware is detected.
If this is the case, it initially blocks access to the file and then allows the user to select an action. SpywareGuard provides
a fast scanning engine, signature-based scanning, heuristic/generic scanning, a control panel, and an online-update utility
for downloading of definition updates. It does not replace your anti-virus protection, but instead detects programs that may
cause privacy concerns.

Windows Defender (formerly Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware) is a detects and removes adware and spyware from your computer, and also features real-time protection that alerts
you when potential dangers arise, stopping most spyware before it can even install. The program includes a variety of security
agents that act as bodyguards to protect areas of your system that are commonly used by malware to hijack your settings, add
menu items, change your home page, and much more. If any adware or spyware items are detected during a scan, you are provided
with detailed information about the offender and can choose to delete or quarantine the item(s). The beta version will expire
in a few months, however Windows Defender will remain free of charge to all licensed Windows users. I think the version expires
Dec. 31, 2006.
