- Introduction
- ============
-
- If you cruise the internet or send and receive e-mail,
- you can't afford to be without The Cleaner! One of the
- latest hazards to hit the net are "Trojan Horses" --
- destructive programs that masquerade as benign
- applications. The term comes from a story in Homer's
- Iliad, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse
- to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace
- offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside
- their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the
- horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing
- their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.
-
-
- What Trojans Can Do To Your System...
- Unlike viruses, Trojan Horses do not replicate themselves,
- but they can be just as destructive. One of the most
- insidious types of Trojan is a program that claims to rid
- your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses
- onto your computer. Another is the infamous "Back Orifice."
- As reported on ZD-Net, this trojan allows others on the
- internet to gain access to your computer and search and
- manipulate your hard-drive.
-
-
- How The Cleaner Protects Your System ...
- The Cleaner searches your hard drive cleans it of all known
- Trojans. Using a unique patent-pending technology, The Cleaner
- compares each file against a list of all know Trojans. You
- can scan your entire system or just one file. The program
- also allows you to periodically update your Trojan database
- file to keep it current with the latest research. If you're
- going to expose your system to the dangers of the internet,
- keep it clean with The Cleaner!
