Title: question on anti-spywares
Post by: associates on April 26, 2007, 01:42:57 AM

Hi,

I don't know if there is such anti-spyware software program as i described below.

What it would do is it would scan for any spywares as files or docs are being transfered from external source to hard disk on the computer. Because usually, the files are successfully transfered to hard disk and then use the anti-spyware program to scan it to find out if the file is safe to be open or executed.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Zone Alarm Security Suite scans files as soon they are transfered to the computer, Sophus Anti Virus also scans files like this..

Although not automatic both AVG and Avast which are free will scan external devices as well...
