Traditional antivirus products only scan "files", they open files and check for virus code. But they don't
check and clean system files and can't clean or delete Trojan horse programs (also known as Trojans) if it is
already run in the system.
The TSC uses patterns to define how to clean a Trojan. These patterns are built into Trend Micro virus pattern
files and are kept up-to-date. Whenever TSC is executed, it finds the newest pattern file and tries to read
Trojan clean section from the pattern file.
ScriptTrap Technology
With the addition of ScriptTrap technology, PC-cillin now more than ever provides rock-solid protection for
your computer. PC-cillin not only guards against harmful known script-based viruses ("I Love You" and
"Anna Kournikova"), but can also protect your PC from new, unknown script-based threats.
Using the following processes, ScriptTrap automatically scans for scripting viruses based on "what they do"
rather than how they are written:
lexical analysis- divides the script's source code into components, called tokens, based on punctuation and
other keys.
semantic parsing- attempts to determine the meaning of each component.
Emergency Lock
PC-cillin also includes an Internet Emergency Lock function that lets you immediately disable all Internet
activity if you suspect an attack. Enabling the Emergency Lock function immediately stops all traffic to and
from the Internet.
User Interface
Designed for the home or small office user, the program's friendly interface quickly familiarizes you with the
powerful features of PC-cillin 2002. The interface now includes a Simple and Standard mode. Using a tab
interface, you can easily switch between the two modes.
Simple mode: Perform common PC-cillin tasks such as: view a simplified version of your system status, and
scan all drives. In addition, you can update and register your software.
Standard mode: Access more advanced PC-cillin 2002 functions including: viewing your system status in
more detail, selectively scanning folders, synchronizing your PDA, quarantining files, and viewing logs. In
the Standard mode, as in the Simple mode, you can also update and register your software.
