Cyberhawk (new security app) public beta....

[Ratbag]

Cyberhawk is a program I've been keeping an eye on for a while and its just gone into public beta phase. It certainly makes some bold claims, and if its claims are to be believed it should be downloaded and deployed by all and sundry:

Cyberhawk is extraordinary security software for the average consumer: easy to install, painless to use, and immediately effective against today's computer security threats. Designed for people who don't have the time or technical expertise necessary to tackle the tough job of PC security, Cyberhawk features innovative real-time technology that provides a superior alternative to traditional hard-to-use security programs. Viruses, worms, trojans, hackers, rootkits, spyware—Cyberhawk stops them all.

Traditional security software like antivirus and anti-spyware offer strictly reactive protection. They can only protect you from a new threat after it has been discovered and new signatures to protect against it are developed, tested, and then released for download. Cyberhawk does not rely on signatures to protect you; instead, it proactively shuts down any activity or behavior that might compromise the security of a PC. You are always protected, no matter how new the threat.

Its the kind of spiel that sparks distrust but Novatix are a fairly reputable lot. Anyway, I've downloaded it and I'm about to test it alongside (or maybe instead of NOD). Just thought others may be interested too!
