Announcing PestPatrol Version 4.1

Barcelona, May 28th 2003 -- CenturionSoft announced today the availability of a new update to PestPatrol, the powerful security and personal privacy tool that detects and eliminates destructive pests like Trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools.

Whats new in PestPatrol Version 4.1 :

-CookiePatrol detects spyware cookies the moment they land on your computer, and silently blasts them away. The addition of heuristic spyware cookie detection ensures continuing protection.

-KeyPatrol detects both known and unknown keyloggers, using both behavioral and patern-matching algorithms.

-Improved scan engine enables faster scans, improves dynamic update abilities, and substantially decreases memory usage.

PestPatrol is a powerful security and personal privacy tool that detects and eliminates destructive pests like Trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools. It complements your anti-virus an firewall software, extending your protection against non-viral malicious software that can evade your existing security and invade your personal privacy.

These pests often lurk silently on your computer until something -- or someone- sets them off. When that happens, you could lose passwords, personal data, credit card numbers, and -- if you telecommute and connect to your office via a VPN -- open up a back door for the hacker into your entire company network.

PestPatrol defeats the threat by detecting and removing :

-Spyware and adware that phones home" information about you, your computer and your surfing habits

-Remote access Trojans (RATs) that allow an attacker to remotely control your computer

-Keyloggers that can steal password and other confidential data

-Denial-of-service (DoS) attack agents that can crash or hang a program, or your entire system

-Probe tools that look for vulnerabilities on your system that a hacker can exploit

PestPatrols easy-to-use interface, automatic updates and extensive on-line research center make it simple to keep your computer clear of unwanted pests. A 2002 PC Magazine Five Star Utility, PestPatrol allows you to surf with confidence, knowing that your personal information stays private and your computer stays secure.
