AppRanger 2.2.1.1

AppRanger 2.2.1.1 is designed to specially remove nasty malware, virus, spyware, and rootkits that are making your life miserable. AppRanger protects so well that even clicking on a bad link or opening an infected attachment will not infect you PC. AppRanger is nearly ten times smaller than most anti-virus products and won't slow down your PC.

Major Features:

1. Protect against hacks: According to Gartner, 75% of all attacks are via applications. Hackers target vulnerabilities in server applications to gain access to the servers. It is expected that over 80% of all corporations would have suffered from such attacks by 2009. AppRanger defeats attacks on application servers by protecting applications with a sandbox. AppRanger’s sandbox has full visibility into actions of applications and any DLLs loaded by the application.Any malicious activity in the application is detected and blocked by AppRanger without any interference with normal execution of the application. AppRanger has pre-defined sandboxes for most common applications like Apache, Exchange, IIS, browser, etc. Applications are automatically protected and the user does not have to do any configuration. For those who desire very high security, AppRanger provides a “High” security mode for sandboxes that permits only authorized actions by the application.
2. Find rootkits: When a server is hacked, the first action by hacker is to evade detection. For this purpose, hackers often deploy rootkits to hide their presence. Rootkits damage or modify the kernel to hide files, processes, etc. Because the components installed by hackers are hidden, the server compromise is more difficult to catch. AppRanger incorporates the most advanced rootkit detection method that can detect any rootkit. AppRanger uses a technique called “kernel Heal” to reverse the damage done by rootkits to the kernel and exposes all rootkits and associated components. AppRanger also has unparalleled capabilities in removing malware and rootkits. By using a patent pending method, AppRanger is able to freeze rootkits and remove them from servers.
3. Protect against zero-day attacks: Applications will always have flaws. This is especially true for legacy applications that are no longer updated or patched. From the time a flaw is detected to when a patch is applied, there is a window of vulnerability. It is during this window of vulnerability that hackers launch most of their attacks. AppRanger protects against zero-day attacks by enforcing a lockdown. Lockdown allows all applications on the server to function properly, but all hacks are blocked and malware cannot infect the server. The server is immune to the zero-day attack even though a patch has not been applied. If there is a zero-day worm attack, AppRanger will clean the server, prevent it from getting reinfected, and permit it to function normally even though there is a zero-day worm attack in progress. This gives administrators enough time to focus on tracking down and resolving the worm problem and not worrying about their entire network go down due to servers getting infected.
4. Protect VM infrastructure: Virtualizing servers and desktops has many benefits for enterprise users. Virtualization leads to more efficient use of resources, ease of migration, redundancy, support for legacy software, etc. Virtualization adds new set of security issues. Applying patches to virtual servers is difficult because machines move around and this increases exposure to attacks. Malware escaping from the virtual machine, via network (a worm) or via hypervisor jump (still difficult), can rapidly infect a large number of virtual devices. AppRanger protects virtual machine server infrastructure by sandboxing applications, blocking exploits, enforcing lockdown, tracking system changes, and weeding out any rootkits.
5. HIPAA, PCI, SOX compliance: AppRanger generates reports that address main issues for compliance requirements. Daily reports gives a summary of the server which details any malware detected, list of all applications protected by AppRanger, hourly statistics on attacks blocked, unclassified applications, etc. This report also serves a second purpose of “risk assessment” of servers. AppRanger tracks changes made to the server. If a change is made to the server, its time, date, and source can be tracked down based on information collected by AppRanger. AppRanger authenticates all software running on the server and it can block any unauthorized software. Preventing unauthorized software on servers is a key step in ensuring that a hacker or malware cannot steal confidential information.
