- ===========
- Description
- ===========
-
- A very extensive and thorough intrusion scanner that scans any
- media on your PC for backdoors and trojan horses. This is not an anti-virus,
- rather, its main purpose is to fight trojan horses, which can not reliably be
- detected by anti-viruses. Designed to work alongside any anti-virus to complement
- each other.
- Also allows you to perform tasks relating to your PC's
- wellbeing such as regedit, system reports, and it allows
- you to see any application (hidden or otherwise) that is operating.
- While online updates keep PC Door Guard up to date, the built-in
- heuristic analyzer in most cases can detect a Trojan without using any virus database.
- The Monitor utility constantly verifies the files you download,
- get via ICQ, or receive by e-mail; the Executor checks any file
- before it is executed; and the Scanner provides you with a trojan and virus
- search engine so that stealth, phantom, and worm viruses and trojansdo not get away.
- The Cure module enables you to delete any discovered viruses, even
- if they are hiding behind Windows processes.
- PC Door Guard does not intercept system resources, thus allowing you
- to use it with any other anti-virus application for maximum protection.
- Its comprehensive database includes data for over 2,100 Trojan horses.

- Installation
- ============
-
- Important! If you've got PDG not from our web page, but from
- the other source (magazine CD or some software library), please
- visit our home page - you'll probably find the later version;
- usually, we release the updates about twice a month.
-
- To install PDG, just run the "pdg10.exe" and follow the
- instructions. You'll need to select the target directory
- and the components to install.

- Before you contact us, please do the following:
-
- - Be sure that you're doing everything right. We all make
- mistakes sometimes... Be attentive.
- - Look at the Help file: it may already contain an answer to
- your question. A lot of people ask us something like "how
- do I:", though the complete information is there.
- - Visit PDG home page in the Internet at
- http://www.astonsoft.com/. It's a good chance that you'll
- find the newer version of PDG there. If the serious bug has
- been found in the program, but the new version is not ready yet,
- we make the hot fix for it.
-
- But if you still have a problem with PDG and nothing else helps,
