CryptoLocker is a program for Windows that aims to protect your computer by offering standard security features like detection, removal and blocking spyware. In addition, it comes with extensive Help contents to assist you in figuring out the available functions.
Scan for malicious activities
The installation is quite straightforward and does not prompt you to deploy additional software products. After launch, you are greeted with an intuitive layout which consists of a few buttons, a navigation panel and a pane dedicated to displaying items and information.
The first step is to scan your entire system, including rootkits, files, cookies and memory. A custom analysis is also available. Once the process finishes, you can view all removed items in a list located in the Backup section. You also have the option to restore them with a single mouse click.
Advanced security functions
The Settings menu presents a wide range of options. For instance, there is a Network Sentry feature which gives you the means to activate the HOSTS file monitoring, as well as system, LSP chain, advanced DNS and clock format protection.
It is also possible to secure the Internet Explorer. The utility monitors the IE proxy and homepage, and is capable of noticing any attempts to force the browser to display images. Thus, you can reduce the damage caused by malware. Alternatively, you may try a similar tool called Spyware Terminator.
