A breakthrough in anti-virus technology, ViraLock is the first software that prevents the spread of e-mail-borne viruses, allowing them no escape from an infected computer. For use by individuals and small businesses --and with a network version in development, ViraLock encrypts addresses found in e-mail programs so that a virus cannot replicate by sending itself out.

While current anti-virus software blocks known viruses from entering, ViraLock prevents all viruses, known or unknown, from using e-mail addresses to spread by exiting to other computers. In so doing, ViraLock also blocks the potential loss of confidential information. We like to think of it as the first “virus-locking” software and the missing half of the anti-virus solution.

Complementary to current anti-virus software products, ViraLock carries out its work automatically and is transparent to the e-mail user.
