Tauscan is capable of detecting and removing thousands of Trojan Horses
including modifications and variants from your system. That is more than
any other application currently available.
The program scans your system's memory when it boots and will remove
any Trojan viruses it finds there.
Its simple, but functional interface has been especially designed
with novice users in mind. All the primary functions are accessible from
the Toolbar and are easily accessible at any time.
Tauscan allows you to scan specific files and folders with just a
simple right-click mouse. Just choose "Scan" from the menu and
Tauscan does the rest!
Another unique feature of Tauscan allows you to scan a file or
folder just by dragging and dropping the program's icon into the Folder
window. This feature is particularly useful in order to scan an
executable before you install it on your system. You can also
right-click a file or folder and scan it that way too.
The Tau Monitor feature checks all running processes for the
presence of a Trojan virus and even allows you to kill any process with
just two mouse clicks.
The Context Help menu, Online Tour of our web site and the
Interactive Tutorial were all designed to make Tauscan an effective yet
simple tool for both novices and professional users alike.
The Wizard feature simplifies the setup and functionality of the
program and guides you through the whole scanning process without any
need on the user's part to be computer-literate.
The Tauscan team constantly monitors the Internet to discover new
strains or completely new Trojans as they appear. Tauscan's
"Update" feature also allows you to download the very latest
updates to the program as well as the very latest virus definition files
in order to combat each new threat as it appears. The program can use a
variety of mirrors to download updates from and also supports proxy
servers.
Tauscan will even remind you when an update is due.
Tauscan creates a log file of all scanning processes either as a
plain text file, or in HTML format.
The advanced Trojan Analyzer allows the program to detect Trojan
viruses even if they have been incorporated as an attachment. Rogue
utilities such as Silk Rope, Joiner and TOP for example, allow a cracker
or hacker to bind the Trojan to the installer in such a way that the
Trojan will install even if the user decides to cancel the installation
of the actual program.
The scanning process can be suspended and resumed at any time. The
user can also set the priority level so that the program works invisibly
in the background while the user performs normal everyday tasks.
Tauscan with Jammer
Jammer and Tauscan work together. Jammer gives you a cyber fortress and
Tauscan is the police force within that fortress. Jammer builds your
fortress by constantly monitoring your Internet connection much like the
typical firewall. The only way a malicious program can get through
Jammer is if you open the fortress gate. Trojan Horses get their name
from the Greek "gift" used to gain entrance to the besieged
Troy. Modern Trojan horses are programs that look useful, but are just a
way to access the files on a person's computer. Tauscan acts as a second
line of defense by detecting and removing any Trojans that you have
unknowingly accepted. These two applications work hand in hand. Jammer
builds a cyber fortress and Tauscan polices it. You are protected in the
relatively hostile world of the Internet and while working off-line.
