Guard-IE works with your firewall and antivirus
software by intercepting threats at the Web-level which they cannot
address:
Web-based security threats include:
1. Active-X and Java Applet Worms and Viruses
Active-X and Java applets provide many powerful functions and their use
will continue to expand. However, without protection, these objects
can be used to trigger unpleasant consequences.
Guard-IE provides you the ability to allow some such objects while
preventing others - a feature not possible in standard firewalls or Web browsers -
thus providing you a
greater level of security protection.
2. Resetting Your Home Page & Browser Hijacking
Guard-IE prevents scripts from re-sizing, moving, or re-setting of
your browser!
3. Super Cookies and Snooping Scripts
Any site on the Internet can access the unique identification number
assigned by default to every Windows Media Player by using a little
JavaScript.
Privacy
watchdog groups warn that this technique, referred to as Super Cookies,
could enable Web sites to track users.
Guard-IE can conveniently intercept and prevent the Media Player event
from running except when you choose it, thereby minimizing the use of this
Super Cookie.
