How is Scrubit different from competing products?

Scrubit eliminates badware without definitions. Scrubit discovers badware based on behavior.

Scrubit will find and remove hidden, unknown, undiscovered and mutating (polymorphic) forms of badware, threats that are not discovered by any definition based security programs. Scrubit is designed to discover and remove "Zer0 Day" threats.

Scrubit uses failover clean up strategies to remove extremely stubborn badware. Once threats are discovered, Scrubit uses proprietary “Smart-Cleaning” logic to remove badware. Smart-Cleaning selects a cleaning method to remove badware based on the protective behavior of the threats being removed. If a clean should fail, Scrubit will use an alternative method to combat the design protecting the badware on a subsequent cleaning run.  

Scrubit prevents reinfection with an inoculation feature. Scrubit’s inoculation feature protects users from reinfection from the same badware threat.

Custom compilation is a standard feature which protects Scrubit from attack. Custom compilation is a major product differentiator for any enterprise level security product. Custom compilation makes targeting Scrubit for attack almost impossible because Scrubit is different for each company. The weakest link for any security product is to have one common way to attack it and shut it off, as is the case with all commercial security products. Anyone (badware programmers) given the time and talent can design a way to defeat any mass market (mainstream) security product. Unlike mass market security products, Scrubit is compiled uniquely for each company. Custom compilation insulates Scrubit from attack, - mass market security products can be shut down. If a security product is shut down, it cannot protect you. Scrubit is one of itSoftware's failsafe security products.  Scrubit will clean your systems even if your other mainstream products are rendered useless. Scrubit will supplement existing security models but can be used as a stand alone product.

Scrubit is specifically designed with production in mind. Scrubit is imaging friendly with automatic activation, registration and licensing. Simply install Scrubit on your company’s computer images. As soon as the new computer is imaged, deployed and gets internet access, Scrubit will automatically activate and register itself and become fully operational. Automatic activation, registration and licensing will even account for mass rollouts when exchanging old equipment for new.

Scrubit is easy to learn and easy to use. Scrubit uses a rich 3D graphical interface with "EZ-Read" (reduces eye strain). Scrubit’s interface uses a simple user friendly device-like look. Scrubit does not overwhelm users with a lot of tabs and menu choices or complicated and confusing configuration options – you don’t have to be a computer technician to clean your systems with Scrubit.

Scrubit’s unmatched behavioral based threat discovery, Smart-Cleaning, inoculation features, EZ-Read interface, automatic activation, registration and licensing along with custom compilation make Scrubit the premier tool to use to clean today and tomorrows threats.
