Active Shield Against Ransomware & Malicious Content

Advanced Web Scanning Engine

Cryptoware Detection & Blocking
Cryptoware or ransomware is currently one of the most dangerous cyber threats on the web. This type of malware will encrypt the data on your drive and ask for ransom to unlock it. Heimdal PRO will spot and block cryptoware strains like Cryptolocker or TorrentLocker before they encrypt your data.
Malicious Look Up Blocker
Heimdal PRO looks for infected pop-ups, toolbars and other forms malware on each website you visit. If it finds them, it blocks the website. As simple as that. This keeps your system safe from adware, spyware and browser hijackers, which are frequent threats.

Anti-phishing Protection
Phishing attacks are a common method cyber criminals use to harvest your sensitive data. Heimdal PRO keeps your data safe because it checks every website you visit. If it spots a phishing attempt, it will block the website before it can lure you into its trap. This also works if you unknowingly click a malicious link in an email.
Shield Against Website Malware Distribution
Even legitimate websites can spread malware (unknowingly, of course). Attackers often infiltrate these websites by infecting banners or by script injections. Heimdal PRO identifies these threats and blocks them before they compromise your system. Sometimes, Heimdal will only block the infected banner or web page, so you can still access the rest of the website.

Internet Traffic Filtering
Cyber criminals are very good at disguising their infected websites so visitors can't tell they are rogue. But they can't fool us! Heimdal PRO checks every web destination you visit to see if it's safe. If it's unsafe, it will display a block page, to keep you safe.
Pervasive Protection
Heimdal PRO ensures that you are protected everywhere you take your computer with you. It's the perfect supplement for your antivirus solution, which offers reactive protection. Heimdal PRO works proactively and constantly to make sure your system and data are safe.

Personal Dashboard
You get full control over your Heimdal PRO settings in your personal dashboard. This is also where you can find detailed statistics and an overview of the vulnerabilities in your system. Easy, user friendly and effective.

Protection Against Financial Malware & Data Leakage

Traffic-Based Malware Detection

Zero Day Malware Protection
Zero Day vulnerabilities are security holes that appear in an application that the app maker is not aware of. Cyber criminals rush to exploit it before an update is released. Heimdal PRO protects you from these type of attacks based on deep knowledge of cyber criminal infrastructure. Heimdal protects you from Zero Days by blocking the communication between your system and the infected web pages, servers or other malicious online locations.

PC Lockdown
Some cyber attacks are especially powerful. If a cyber criminal or malicious software tries to compromise Heimdal, communication between your system and infected servers will be blocked immediately. This prevents data leakage and the infection from escalating.

Extensive and Specialized
Malware Database
Heimdal PRO relies on a specialized malware database which harbours information about malicious infrastructure. Because of this Heimdal PRO can shield you from financial malware threats which are often very sophisticated. Extensive knowledge about 2nd generation malware, such as, CryptoLocker, Dridex or other advanced variants, is also included for your protection.

Security Against Advanced
Exploit Kits
Exploit kits are malicious toolkits attackers use to take advantage of vulnerabilities in your system. These exploit kits help spread malware and often go undetected by traditional antivirus products. Some don't even drop files on your system, so they're very difficult to spot. But Heimdal PRO can catch and block them because it knows where the attacks come from.

Online Banking Security
Financial transactions are the main target cyber criminals aim to compromise. That's why Heimdal PRO checks your Internet traffic in real time to identify such threats. If it does, Heimdal immediately blocks financial malware from sending sensitive data, such as passwords or credit card details, to malicious servers or websites.

Active Protection Against Data Leakage
Some types of malware will try to harvest confidential data, such as credit card information and passwords, to use them against you. Heimdal PRO identifies these data leakage attempts and blocks the transfer. This way, your sensitive data never leaves your system and remains safe and sound.

Silent Software Updates

Automatic Software Updates

Automatic
Forget about all those update pop ups on your computer! Let Heimdal PRO take care of keeping your software up to date automatically. It will install updates as soon as they're available, so you're never exposed to cyber attacks that target your apps.
