Desktop Authority® Spyware Detection and Removal Option
One of today’s fastest-growing threats to enterprise security is spyware. From simple annoying ad pop-ups, to identity-stealing key loggers and all the different types of software that snoops-on and threatens your network in between, spyware is potentially more dangerous and destructive to your business than any computer virus. Desktop Authority’s enterprise-class Spyware Detection and Removal (SDR) option gives administrators the ability to centrally secure and protect desktops across the enterprise against spyware, together with centralized control and reporting.
Out of the box, Desktop Authority offers the ability to download spyware definition updates and detect spyware on desktops. In other words, without purchasing the Spyware Removal option, administrators can find out exactly how much spyware is currently residing on desktops across the network. Once the Spyware Removal option is enabled, quarantining and removal options are available to rid client machines of unwanted spyware. In the event that SDR reports that an application is classified as spyware even though it is known to be benign or an acceptable risk, SDR can be configured to exclude that application from detection.
When used in combination with all of Desktop Authority’s other capabilities, administrators can secure their desktops against a wide range of attacks. Desktop Authority can implement desktop Security Policies, configure the Windows Firewall, lock down file and registry security and more, and the Patch Deployment for Desktops option gives enterprise-class protection against known OS and application threats.
