Q: Is WinArmor Desktop a silver bullet for Internet security?
A: No. It just decreases the risk significantly. But even with WinArmor you may be attacked successfully.
Q: But why I need WinArmor Desktop if I already have firewall, antivirus and even UAC?
A: Antivirus works only after somebody has been infected and McAfee/Symantec got a report
from him. WinArmor decreases possibility to be infected before antivirus update is installed.
Q: Okay, but what about firewall or realtime monitor?
A: Firewall and monitor cannot protect you from social-oriented attacks.
Q: Hmm. "Social-oriented"? What's this?
A: Just an example: if you receive something interesting via email (or find it in the Internet)
(some interesting content, like "screensaver", "horoscope", etc.), you'll download and start it, right?
In that case, firewall will not be able to stop you. It has ability to detect and
stop strange activity of this "horoscope" in the Internet, but not prevent you from running malicious content.
Q: Oh, I understand: WinArmor defends my system, firewall defends my traffic.
Antivirus works like insurance policy, so it will be able to cure my system
if other measures are not enough. Am I right?
A: Absolutely right view, gentlemens.
