Definition-base products require definitions to recognize security threats. Without definitions badware remains undiscovered. Definition-based products cannot identify new and unknown forms of badware (security threats).

Some forms of badware once on your computer, are specifically designed to prevent updating the definitions of your security products. This means any new badware items will not be discovered (threats remaining in the definitions list will be found). If definitions are not up to date you may not realize you are unprotected from new threats. This is the time you are the most vulnerable.

Some competing products find and clean the badware items only to later rediscover the items again and again. Generally this indicates partner processes either unknown to your security product or polymorphic in nature, are protecting and rebuilding the badware. The definition-based programs will not be able to completely remove these type of threats.

Some anti-virus products use live-protection which immediately recognizes and removes the threat (provided it is listed in the definitions). Your anti-virus program issues a pop up warning to the user. Shortly afterwards the live-protection pops up the same warning. This continues until you restart the computer. But after restarting the computer you find the warning message is back. The badware (security threat) is installed on your hard drive, auto-started and is now operating in memory and will not allow itself to be removed or terminated. Your security product failed to remove this stubborn piece of badware, you are not protected.

Some forms of badware are designed to prevent many of the well known security products from running at all. Many times the security icon is still visible in the system tray. You do not even realize you are compromised. If your anti-virus products or anti-malware products can't run, they cannot protect you.

If these things happen on your system, it means you are not clean and you are not protected. Badware has escaped discovery or shut off your existing security products. You need a better way to clean, a failsafe way – you need Scrubit™. Scrubit is designed to supplement your existing security products to ensure your best chance of removing all forms of badware while insulated (because of custom compiling specifically for each company) from direct attack from badware.

Scrubit is a behavioral-based system compiled specifically for your company.  Scrubit is immune to the problems of definition-based systems.  Scrubit is immune to attacks on mass market products.  Scrubit is the fail-safe way to clean your system without definitions and without being compromised.
