Victoria, B.C. September 16, 2010 – In the second quarter of 2010, viruses and other malware attempted to execute over 540 million infections globally, according to a recent report from SecureList. To protect their users from the rising tide of threats, security software company ParetoLogic has rolled out its latest defence against viruses, spyware, adware, and other malicious software. ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS version 7 provides enhanced threat detection and removal and adds new features to improve the user’s experience. As well as redesigning the interface, developers also dramatically improved scan times and system resource footprint.

Version 7 of ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS is notable for two significant technological advances. The first delivers enhanced rootkit removal. Rootkits act as “burrowing” malware, and entrench themselves so deep in a users system that they are some of the most difficult to remove.

“ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS now gives users state-of-the-art protection against these dangerous and stubborn infections,” said Elton Pereira, Co-founder, President and CEO of ParetoLogic. “We know that infections are on the rise, and paired with heuristic detection, our software will keep people safer than ever.”

So-called heuristic detection is the most recent development in security software, and the second of ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS 7′s advances. Rather than relying on a database of found and catalogued malware samples, heuristic detection is behavioural based.

“There are a large number of distinct varieties of malware, but their actual goals and methods of operation all follow a similar pattern,” explained Jean Taggart, Security Analyst at ParetoLogic. “Heuristic detection is able to recognize a suspicious file or process, even if that specific piece of malware was never programmatically analyzed, or examined by a malware researcher. This is achieved by looking at behaviour, or common traits.”

The ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS update also adds Windows® 7 support and a sleek interface to match the popular new operating system. Additional software improvements resulted in shorter scan times, and a lighter system footprint. These upgrades allow users to scan their system without slowing down their other applications or tasks.

This has led to the latest in system utilities: ParetoLogic has launched PC Health Advisor. This versatile PC optimization product, with built-in security features, helps user fix, clean and optimize their computers.

“PC Health Advisor is what customers have been asking for! Now they have a complete suite of tools to optimize and clean their computers – in one easy-to-use package,” said Elton Pereira, ParetoLogic’s CEO, President and Co-Founder.

PC optimization has always been a bit of a mystery to many computer users. Everyone wants their PC to perform better and to not slow down as it gets older. In the past, the only ways to achieve this was by taking it to an expensive professional technician or purchasing software that often only addresses one area. PC Health Advisor is the ultimate all-in-one PC performance solution as it tackles all the issues that can bog down your machine.

Perk up your PC

PC Health Advisor is a comprehensive suite of advanced tools that fixes common problems and allows you to tweak for optimum performance. With this innovative software you can:

• Get a report on the health of your PC so you know how much cleaning and optimization is need
• Boost startup speeds by managing which items launch when you boot up
• Improve stability and performance by cleaning the Windows registry
• Remove temporary and duplicate items to reclaim memory
• Get rid of unwanted toolbars, add-ons and other browser helper objects to improve performance
• Stop unwanted processes that eat up resources
• Customize Windows system settings to optimize performance
• Manage restore points to free up disk space

Protect yourself

As well as optimizing your computer, PC Health Advisor also helps protect you and your machine. During its main scan, PC Health Advisor searches for malware, such as viruses and spyware, running in active processes. This malicious code could be damaging your PC, collecting data or attempting to steal your confidential information or performing other devious tasks. As well, PC Health Advisor deletes Internet history, cached and privacy information. This keeps your information private and protects your passwords, logins, lists of websites visited and financial information.

Here for you

In PC Health Advisor, the ParetoLogic team created an easy-to-use program to improve your computing experience. For example, it includes a handy schedule function so that you can set it to scan automatically at a convenient time. Plus, PC Health Advisor lets you set a restore point so you can fix and tweak with confidence.

VICTORIA, British Columbia, May 20 /PRNewswire/ — ParetoLogic’s powerful new PC health and optimization program has joined the RevenueWire network. PC Health Advisor takes care of all the user’s PC performance issues in a single place. This powerful program deep scans to optimize memory use, cleans the Windows Registry, and finds and removes temporary, duplicate and unneeded files. PC Health Advisor also cleans the cache and browser History to protect the user’s privacy and boost Internet browsing speed.

“ParetoLogic is known for its high-quality digital products, and PC Health Advisor is the latest evolution of that skill and expertise. It allows consumers to find all the PC optimization functionality they need in one single application. Demand will be high for this type of all-in-one functionality, and affiliates should grab the opportunity to be first in line promoting it,” said Bobbi Leach, RevenueWire’s General Manager, regarding the new product addition.

Elton Pereira, President, Co-founder, and CEO of ParetoLogic, commented on PC Health Advisor, “The most exciting thing about this new product is that it brings together the power and functionality of several different PC Health and performance tools into one easy-to-use program. We’re confident this will make our customers’ PC experience much easier and more enjoyable, while saving them money at the same time.”

Victoria, B.C. May 13, 2010 – At an official ribbon cutting ceremony at ParetoLogic’s head office, company executives unveiled PC Health Advisor to the public. The new software packs a huge number of features and tools to optimize, secure, and maintain Windows PCs. With ParetoLogic’s successful track record, indications are that PC Health Advisor will help millions of customers and their computers.

“We are absolutely ecstatic about PC Health Advisor and the ways it can help people,” said Elton Pereira, ParetoLogic’s President, CEO and Co-Founder, at the program launch celebration. “This is the software that our users have been asking for.”

PC Health Advisor raises the bar for system utility and optimization products. Included in the digital multi-tool are a registry cleaner, privacy scanner, and malware process detector. The registry cleaner detects and removes problems in the Windows registry to improve performance, speed and system stability. The privacy scanner locates personal information and then permanently erases it. Computers continually record a user’s actions, the files accessed, and websites visited. PC Health Advisor removes this privacy and security risk. The malware process detector, as the name implies, searches for active malware on the system. This ensures that malware does not annoy users with pop-ups, or endanger them with keyloggers or Trojans.

“We’ve integrated truly essential functions,” said Ted Deng, Senior Project Manager at ParetoLogic, “not only are vital optimization features included but we’ve also added completely new tools and controls.”

These tools include direct access to Windows customization options, a process manager, duplicate file finder, Startup Manager, and BHO Manager. The software pairs ParetoLogic’s user-friendly interface with an array of technologies that have traditionally been the exclusive domain of highly trained technicians. All told, the toolkit gives Windows users unrestricted control over their computers, and instant power to clean, tweak, and fine-tune them.

“The software is so powerful, but the interface so easy-to-use,” said Pereira with a smile, “PC Health Advisor might end up giving some users a reputation as a computer whiz.”
