Recent outbreaks of super-propagating worms have proven that traditional anti-virus scanning techniques (scanning for known worms) are useless against worms that spread around the globe faster than you can update your anti-virus software.

This is where WormGuard comes in, it uses generic, heusteric detection of worms which means it finds out what the worm actually does and gives you an alert if it is something harmful.

Limitations: 30-day trial
