This program is a behavior analyzer and so is classified as HIPS-class product (Host-based Intrusion Prevention Systems). HIPS-class products are necessary for complex protection as well as traditional antiviruses, personal firewalls and anti-spam providing protection against threats immune to traditional IT security solutions.

Safe'n'Sec allows deleting the infected application, transferring it to quarantine or admit it without any actions. For infected application cure antivirus applications are recommended. StarForce Safe’n’Sec uses innovation technologies of proactive protection based on applications behavior analysis rather than out-of-date signature analysis.

User’s data is threatened by the malicious code actions rather than its presence inside the PC. Virus can be located inside the PC for years and doesn’t bring any damage. Data is damaged by the virus actions rather than by its presence. Antivirus software detects viruses by the changed code of an application as a result of infection whereas Safe’n’Sec detects malware by the malicious application’s actions. Out-of-date technologies detect malware after it has started the malicious activity whereas proactive technologies detect it on the starting point. Thus proactive technologies are always one step ahead of the traditional approach.
