Yes, in Version 14 there is Real-time protection.
RogueKiller 14 features a modular real time protection against malware. Our first version (14.0) will give you access to the 2 first modules: “Malware Protection” and “Documents Protection”.
To do so, we had to create a 2 new components that will run in the background on your machine: A kernel driver and a service.
The malware protection module is classic, yet very important module. It scans files before they are executed and can deny execution in case of malware. The real time scanner is based on the filesystem scanner, with the same powerful heuristics, AI and cloud modules to make sure all known and unknown malware are detected before they are harmful.
Ransomware are the #1 threat on internet nowadays, we had to do something to protect our customers.
Documents protection module is a very conservative way to protect against Ransomware, based on whitelist. The principle is easy, no program can modify the documents in the locations you choose to protect (pre-defaulted to “My Documents”), unless they are in an “Exclusions list”. It requires a bit of setup at the beginning, but past this period it’s a very effective way to prevent your documents from being held for ransom.
