2 Tools Released

Tool 1:

BHO Remover

BHO stands for Browser Helper Objects which are plugins written for Internet Explorer to enhance its capabilities. But this feature is being misused by many spyware programs which monitor user's browsing habits and also steal the users credentials silently. Also some of the BHO's slow down the system considerably.

BHORemover helps in quick identification and elimination of such malicious BHO's present in the system. It not only displays detailed information about each BHO entry but also provides online verification mechanism which makes it easy to differentiate between legitimate and malicious plugins.

Current version of BHORemover comes with enhanced user interface with cool look & feel, sorting mechanism to arrange the entries based on various parameters and online verification of BHO using ProcessLibrary.com

Tool 2:

Advanced Windows Service Manager

'Windows Service' is a program designed to perform specific service which is started automatically when Windows boots and runs as long as System is up and running. Services normally run with 'System' privilege thus enabling them to execute higher privilege operations which otherwise cannot be performed by normal processes. Due to these advantages, often malware applications use services to monitor and control the target system.

In this direction, AdvancedWinServiceManager makes it easy to eliminate such malicious services by separating out third party services from Windows services. By default it shows only third party services along with more details such as Company Name, Description, Install Date, File Path etc at one place which helps in quickly differentiating between legitimate and malicious services. It comes with rich features such as detecting hidden rootkit services, exporting the service list to html based log file, displaying only third party services etc. All these unique things make it stand apart when compared to 'Windows Service Management Console'.
