Traditional antivirus solutions cannot protect you until after they have discovered a new threat and produced a signature to counter it. ThreatFire does not rely on signatures, but instead provides behavior-based protection. It is designed to be used alongside your existing antivirus software and it fills the gap in protection between your antivirus signature updates. ThreatFire protects you against major security threats including viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits and even some spyware. Its advanced ActiveDefense technology intelligently analyzes the behavior of processes and programs on a system and immediately halts any malicious action. It continuously monitors all activities on your PC at a very low system level and uses a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, program histories and tolerance thresholds to identify and shut down threats so you are always protected, no matter how new the threat.

Threatfire includes some exclusive features that surpasses traditional antivirus software.  Unlike the traditional anti-virus software that first identify the threat before providing protection, Threatfire continuously protects the PC against potential attacks by tracking any malicious behavior, such as capturing keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats such as normal antivirus software. Threatfire offers advanced real-time behavioral analysis designed to stop never-before-seen zero day threats (that exploit the currently unprotected traditional security products), detected to solely detecting their malicious activity. Threatfire also features and allows users to create restore points before quarantining infections.  Users have the options to set the preferred trusted processes and define rules for protection like scanning for SCR files created by e-mails.

ThreatFire was built so you can use it alongside other antivirus software and it fills the gap in protection between your antivirus signature updates. We have noticed that ThreatFire doesn’t slow down your PC, although it continuously monitors all activities and uses a proprietary combination of analytics, risk algorithms, program histories and tolerance thresholds. In conclusion ThreatFire is very easy to use and very light on system resources.
