AMUST 1-Defender 2.0

AMUST 1-Defender is a free security utility that offers the first line of defense against malicious web sites and rogue emails which target user computers with spyware, keyloggers, rootkits, viruses and other malware.

Imagine you click on a link while searching the Internet with your favorite search engine. The web site you land at turns out to be a malicious site. It uses the latest security vulnerability in Internet Explorer to install spyware, keylogger or rootkit on your Windows computer to track your behavior, steal your personal information or even take over your computer. It does it without you ever noticing anything. 1-Defender will protect you in this scenario by preventing the installation of malware, or limiting the things it can do.

1-Defender reduces and eliminates the risks by allowing users to work with Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook and Windows Messenger in SafeInternet mode.

SafeInternet Mode protects user PC from malicious software by employing Least Privileged User Account (LUA) that does not reduce Windows usability and flexibility, and does not downgrade users’ Internet experience while making Internet experience safer and much more secure.

AMUST 1-Defender™ 2.0 is designed to protect a Windows XP user from the latest, not yet patched vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as not yet discovered viruses. AMUST 1-Defender™ 2.0 is not a replacement for anti-spyware, anti-virus or personal firewall but rather provides the first level of defense.

Microsoft is planning to introduce a new feature called Internet Explorer "Protected Mode" in the next version of Windows - Windows Vista. In addition, Windows Vista will run most applications in a Least Privileged User Account by default to reduce security risks. 1-Defender™ 2.0 offers users the same SafeInternet mode functionality for Windows XP today!
