VerificationEngine gives you the ability to verify that the site you are visiting (or directed to via a e-mail) can be trusted - essential in the current environment of fraudulent sites and faked emails.
Just mouse over the logo brand or image you want to verify and VerificationEngine will authenticate the different trust credentials of the site you are on. For example VerificationEngine will check logos such as credit card icons (for online purchasing) web site endorsements such as BBB online or TRUSTe or trade associations are legitimate. In addition simply mouse over a logo and a green border will indicate that the site is legitimately the company it claims to be.
During a secure communications session Internet Explorer users can simply mouse over the padlock to verify;
a) That the padlock is genuine and not a fraudulent graphic
b) The site uses an SSL certificate containing the true entity information about the company with which you have an encrypted https session.
All these tests are seamless. VerificationEngine will extract the credentials of the site from the IdAuthority service, including references to third party logos. All this happened in real time ensuring up to the minute confidence and assurance.
Verification of web page content (brands/logos) with BrandVerify™
VerificationEngine uses patent pending technology to authenticate that a website logo or brand is legitimate and authentic to the company it purports to be.
Verification of login boxes with SubmitVerify™
VerificationEngine uses patent pending technology to authenticate that a website loginbox is legitimate and authentic to the company it purports to be. Combined with anti-keylogging systems.
Verification of SSL session and encryption endpoint with SSLVerifiy™
VerificationEngine allows users of Internet Explorer to determine if the business credentials of the entity with which they have a secure SSL session are available from within the SSL certificate which is being used to encrypt the communication. - What this means is that no Man-in-the-Middle attack can take place as you can be assured of who it is you are communicating with.
Protection against Phishing attacks
Phishing attacks rely on using a link in an e-mail to entice you to a web site which claims to be a legitimate website but is in actual fact a fraudulent site. Now, even if you click on a link and arrive on what should be your banks website you can verify whether it is or not.
Protection against Pharming attacks using IPVerify™
Pharming attacks rely on a virus or Trojan program which corrupts a file on your PC which even if you type the correct URL into your browser send you to a fraudulent website. VerificationEngine supports IPVerify™ which prevents Pharming attacks from succeeding by not only checking the domain name of a sever but also it's unique IP address during the verification process.
Automatic Updates
VerificationEngine has a fully automatic update mechanism ensuring the best performance, highest security and instant availability of the very latest Identity and Trust Assurance services.
Suitable for Internet users with Visual Disabilities
VerificationEngine has been designed specifically to aid users with visual disabilities. Audio feedback can be employed as part of the verification test using a custom .wav file. The Trusted indicator width and colour can also be increased or changed accordingly to aid visual recognition.
Self Protection attack avoidance system
VerificationEngine features the very latest self protection and monitoring systems constantly looking at the performance of the product and alerting you if any spurious software tries to attack the application or shut it down without permission.
Artificial Intelligence System - identifying copycat attempts
Artificial Intelligence constantly looks for potential mimics and other software trying to display a similar 'trust indicator' around the outside of the screen. VerificationEngine will alert you of these fraudulent attempts; however it's always best to ensure you have the correct version of VerificationEngine. Never install a version which is not digitally signed by Comodo CA.

SpywareBlaster 4.1
Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers are some of the most annoying and pervasive threats on the Internet today. By simply browsing a web page, you could find your computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends!
The most important step you can take is to secure your system.
And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.
Multi-Angle Protection
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware and other potentially unwanted programs.
Block spying / tracking via cookies.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted or dangerous web sites.
No-Nonsense Security
SpywareBlaster can help keep your system secure, without interfering with the "good side" of the web. And unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background. It works alongside the programs you have to help secure your system.
The 4 Principles
Software, especially security software, shouldn't make your life more of a hassle. It should make it easier. SpywareBlaster adheres to our four guiding principles of good security software:
- Must not interfere with what you do
Truly helpful programs shouldn't interfere with normal computer usage.
SpywareBlaster:
doesn't slow down web browsing
doesn't interfere with the "good side" of the web
doesn't slow down your computer
doesn't use up any memory or take any cpu
(you set it, close the program, and just remember to update it at least once a week) - Must co-exist peacefully with other software
We recognize that there is no complete solution for the ills that plague computers and software. And we understand the desire and need for an appropriate layered defense.
SpywareBlaster is built to work with any other software on your PC. You can add it as an additional, powerful layer of protection to whatever software you already have installed. In fact, SpywareBlaster's protection works well to augment nearly any combination of security and privacy tools, by focusing on prevention. - Must be simple to use, powerful, and effective
With a pleasant, easy-to-use interface, SpywareBlaster exposes the simple tools and protection that help keep your computer out of unwanted hands. Start it up, check for updates, and press "Enable All Protection" - your computer will be protected against thousands of spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, malware, and other potentially unwanted programs.
And because SpywareBlaster is built to utilize a multi-layered strategy, it's able to block these unwanted intruders from multiple angles, providing better, more powerful, and more flexible protection. - Must be ... free?
Most people expect to have to pay for something good. And many people have gotten used to paying for necessary tools like security and privacy software. We don't think that either has to be the case.
SpywareBlaster is available free for personal and educational use. Yes, free. We've always believed that effective, powerful security and privacy tools should be available to everyone to use, and we've helped ensure that from day one by offering them to everyone for free.
