Security Tip from techsupportalert
review by ClifNotes on 2/6/05
These days it's becoming more and more important to use IDS (Intrusion Detection Software) to safeguard your PC from attacks. If you need an excellent description of IDS and the software available to you, check out this great article at techsupportalert.com. Thanks a million Gizmo, your newsletter is priceless. I've been using WinPatrol and I didn't even know it was IDS. In addition to WinPatrol, I recommend StartupMonitor.
Quote from techsupportalert.com - These products detect malware trying to get into your PC by its behavior rather than by looking for a characteristic signature. Kind of like a detective catching a thief using his modus operandi rather than his fingerprint. Any of you who use WinPatrol or SpyBot's TeaTimer are actually using a form of IDS.
