This software protects credit card numbers, account identity, and passwords using immunization and quarantine technologies. It effectively prevents key-loggers, screen-capture, and hijackers from accessing sensitive information.
Experts in the industry estimate that up to 90% of computers connected to the internet may have thief-ware installed, which is often bundled alongside freeware or shareware, sent by email, or as installed by someone who has access to a user's computer. Traditional corporate security measures like firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software are often insufficient to combat this threat, as thief-ware programs don't fit the definition of a virus or spyware, and hence go undetected.
To counter this threat, Credit card and ID Guard has been developed to safeguard users' credit card details, account identity, and passwords. It uses Program Immunization and Program Quarantine technologies to prevent other programs from accessing sensitive information. The software works by preventing key-logger and screen copy and other potential thief-ware from accessing credit card details or ID information that users enter whilst online shopping or conducting trades online, or during IM conversations on platforms such as MSN or Hotmail.
