Research Center

There are more than 67,000 known internet viruses. More than 300 new viruses and variants are discovered every month. This makes the internet a very dangerous place. For internet security you need two things:

• Security software that protects you from existing internet threats.
• A Research Center that finds and neutralizes new viruses, trojans and spyware -- FAST.

StopSign's internet security experts use virus traps to discover new viruses or trojans in the wild. When a new virus or trojan is found, our experts immediately investigate its malicious code, determine its potential to do damage, and create a specific cleaner for the virus. Our Research Center experts add the cleaner to StopSign's virus definition file and immediately release updates for StopSign users.

You can set your virus scanner to automatically download these updates any time you scan while online. This ensures that your computer always has up-to-date security software. In cases of extreme infections, our Research Center experts are available to work one-on-one with you to get your computer infection free.

Viruses and trojans are not the only threats you need to worry about on the internet. Spyware is a growing threat to internet security. Spyware programs can steal your personal information or credit card number, track where you go on the internet, and even steal your identity.

The StopSign Research Center maintains a dedicated team of researchers to combat the ever-growing spyware presence on the web. Once new spyware software is discovered, StopSign's spyware team creates a cleaner for safe spyware removal. The spyware team immediately creates updates for your scanner, which you can download the next time you are online.
