System and Registry Backup
Registry Backup may be useful in case you want to save registry information for later use. If you happen to re-install your Windows OS, this tool will help you tune your registry and leave all programs and other vital settings functional. System Backup is useful when you want to perform a rollback to the previous state of your Windows. For example, you may want to create restore points before doing any major changes to your registry. Restore points can then be used to reproduce the previous state of your Windows OS.

Quick and Smart Scan
The Smart Scan does a full scan of all of your registry files and your hard drives to locate any possible issues. Use the Quick Scan to conduct a scan of your registry files and system folders.

Automatic and Manual Repair
You can choose to fix all of the problems detected or select individual errors for repair. PCSecurityShield MyRegistryCleaner will repair invalid application paths, uninstall information, COM/ActiveX objects, help files, file extensions, font files, most recently used files list, shared DLLs and folders, startup applications, Windows/MS-DOS shortcuts, and more. The automatic repair function enables any person, regardless of their technical level, to solve registry problems by simply pressing a button. Advanced users can opt to make registry changes manually.

Complete Registry Defrag
When a registry entry is removed it’s marked as being empty but is never actually removed. Registry defrag simply removes these blank entries, which makes the registry hive smaller so it will take up less memory. With a fragmented registry your system will take longer to boot, and programs will take longer to start up. The built-in scheduler enables easy scheduling of automated defrags.

Optimize Your PC
Cleans Windows add/remove software list, manages startup programs, checks for obsolete start menu items, scans for invalid program shortcuts, uninstall information, and most recently used files.

ActiveX Protection
ActiveX applications are able to view, modify, and delete any file on your computer. These applications are usually installed through your Web browser and there is no easy way to remove them. By inserting specific wordvalues within your registry called "Compatibility Flags" PCSecurityShield MyRegistryCleaner blocks any harmful ActiveX programs from installing onto your computer.

review Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0

Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 by Matthew D. Sarrel.


Businesses face myriad Internet threats—rootkits to the left, bots to the right, spyware behind—yet, despite all opposition, they must charge onto an e-commerce and technology battlefield. Fortunately, the new Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 (EP 11), an anti-everything software client, strings virtual barbed wire around your business's PCs. A host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) uses TruScan proactive threat scanning to prevent zero-day attacks and at the same time locks down the desktop so that only authorized apps can run. Device control regulates the copying of files to USB memory devices. Antivirus and antispyware features (along with anti-rootkit protection) guard against malware. A network IPS rounds out the product, along with a firewall that provides low-level protection from network threats. Typically, when testing a product as feature-rich as this, we find a few things that don't work, so we're happy to report that Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 actually does work. It blocked malware and controlled removable device privileges as configured and is a fine choice for businesses with perhaps 25 to 50 users.


Administrators can install the software in unmanaged fashion—directly on workstations, in other words—or using a managed approach, by putting the software on a server and then packaging and pushing it to workstations. When I installed it on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (remember to turn on IIS before installation), a wizard walked me through configuration, during which I set the admin password and created a database (which took 15 minutes or so to initialize). The installation wizard launched a deployment wizard, and using that I exported an install package that was only about 60MB. Although I installed this package manually on my test workstation, you can push it to clients using Active Directory. Once the client software was running, the workstation appeared in the management console.


The management interface gives you control down to an extreme level of granularity. That's no mean feat, and, for the most part, the developers did a great job. Still, to let managers segment clients for management purposes, there are four levels of organization (group, location, domain, client), and getting used to that took some time. The approach provides an advantage, though: Different administrators can assign different policies based on departmental policy and then apply a modified version of that policy if the computer moves. For instance, a laptop in the office may have a more restrictive security policy than the same laptop on the road.


This flexibility is important in large enterprises, but for small businesses it's overkill. You should try to segment as little as possible to simplify ongoing policy management. The soundest advice I can give regarding implementation of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 is to roll it out using the default policies, watch the notifications that you get, and adjust policy as needed over time.


Testing Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0


Configuring security policy on my management server and pushing it to the client workstation was easy enough. But although the management interface is clean and well organized, the many options make getting lost quite possible. I had no trouble configuring malware scans and HIPS and firewall policies, though—it's really just a matter of finding the right check box most of the time.


In my efficacy tests, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 blocked six of six attempted virus downloads via HTTP, even detecting my test virus within a ZIP file. It blocked six of eight attempted keylogger downloads, allowing me to install the two that got through but later detecting one through a routine scan and removing it. The product blocked all seven attempted Trojan horse downloads and eight of ten spyware downloads, but it did allow me to install the two that got through without removing them. For comparison, consider that the feckless F-Secure Client Security 7.1 fell victim to eight keyloggers, four rogues, and four adware applications. In one case the spyware was never detected; in the other case the antispyware didn't detect the spyware, but the firewall did. I was unhappy, though, that the message the utility displayed was the rather vague "HTTP CommonName Traffic Detected." A chat with Symantec confirmed that this did indeed mean the spyware had been blocked, and you can edit firewall policy from the management console to append a statement like "This traffic has been blocked and your network administrator has been notified" to the message. It might be nice if Symantec did this little piece of work for you, though.


Device control worked very well. I was able to prevent the client computer from writing files to a USB memory key, and I also built and distributed a policy that prevented users from sending data to CD and DVD drives, Bluetooth devices, and printers. In addition, I was able to customize the message that users would see when their access was blocked—a helpful capability that lets them know the restriction is intentional and not a system error.


Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 gives an organization's IT administrator comprehensive tools for detecting and repelling attacks. With a protection product that allows this much flexibility and control over policies, you'll have to spend some time learning the ins and outs, but that's far better than learning that your business has been compromised. The good news is that once you climb the learning curve, the product actually works, unlike competitor F-Secure Client Security 7.1, which was easy to implement yet stopped practically nothing from infecting our test machines. Priced at roughly two to three times what the competition costs, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 isn't cheap, but in some respects you get what you pay for—and in this case, you're paying for peace of mind.
