What every person online should know:
What does ActiveDefender do?
Think of ActiveDefender as an impenetrable border between your computer and the Internet. No program, no matter how small, will be granted access outside of your computer without your explicit authorization first.
Protection vs. No Protection
Without a firewall, your computer and all of your personal information are open to anyone. Think about what kind of information you have on your computer. Bank information, personal documents, journals, passwords, private family photos, credit card numbers? Without the constant protection of ActiveDefender, that data is available to anyone with basic Internet skills and bad intentions. Advertisers and hackers can get in and take what they want. They can even leave open a “back door” so they can use your computer to attack other computers; all without your knowledge. Of course, you get the blame too.
 Anti-virus protection just is not enough.
Antivirus software comes installed on most new computers, and most people think that they are completely protected from hackers. But virus defense is only as smart as the latest virus definitions available (which are only produced in response to the latest viruses). Sometimes, many thousands of people must be infected before the makers of antivirus software developers can create a defense and send it to you. In other words, the solution comes only after the problem has been around far too long. And antivirus software does nothing to secure your computer against hacker attacks and sneaky spyware programs.
Monitoring outgoing traffic is crucial.
Malicious code spreads by accessing the Internet and sending copies of itself onto the computers of your friends and family. ActiveDefender’s monitoring protection can keep even brand-new Trojan horses and spyware/adware from doing their adverse work. The ultimate protection is ActiveDefender’s program-level control, so that only those programs that you completely trust are allowed to access the Internet when you want them to!
