About Aladdin eSafe 5

Aladdin eSafe 5 is the industry's first gateway solution featuring four layers of spyware protection. Designed to effectively fight the ever-increasing spyware epidemic, Aladdin eSafe 5 goes beyond blocking spyware by URL, signature or other singular methods. Instead, eSafe uniquely hits spyware head on throughout each stage, including:

• Preventing "drive by" downloads using HTML vulnerability exploits and 'social engineering'
• Download blocking by spyware sites, location and various other spyware identifiers
• Signature and heuristic detection and blocking of spyware after it was downloaded and before it reaches the desktop
• Spyware communication protocol blocking that prevents installed spyware from transmitting to its vendors and helps administrators identify infected PCs
