SurfSecret™ PestPatrol™
Keep clear of identity theft with PestPatrol™!
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 and 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.
Use the free PestScan utility to find out if any pests are lurking on your computer!

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