Fight back against Malware!

The a-squared Personal background guard is smart. It identifies and blocks all potentially-dangerous programs before they can do any damage.

And it does this for any program, even unknown programs that seem otherwise completely harmless!

The perfect addition to your antivirus and firewall

	Worms Worm-Viruses are the most wide spread hazard on the internet. Worms arrive as emails with harmful attachments. If you open an attachment the worm will then copy and send itself to as many other computers as possible, damaging yours and your friend's systems. a-squared detects worms on your PC and removes them before they can do any damage.
