Abtrusion Protector is a virus and intrusion protection software. It prevents software that hasn't been installed on the computer from running. It maintains a database of digital thumbprints of all executable files on the computer that are allowed to start. Whenever Windows tries to load a file, it first verifies that the thumbprint of the file is in the database.

    Reviewing 1.0.0.137 Beta 3 (Sep 16, 2002)

    My rating here goes to the whole idea, not to the software itself.

    The software is designed to prevent "non-approved software" to execute on the computer. This includes checking for file modification (that a virus could cause). Whereas this can prevent viruses, an antivirus would do it much better, identifying the intruder, and other harms.

    The software is shown as shareware, but there's also a "Personal edition", without network capabilities (and "different default settings") which is free for non-commercial use. Prices are "For corporate use, it is licensed at a price of USD20 per workstation. Server licenses are USD400. Volume discounts are available."

    Side note: Requires an NT (4/2000/XP) Windows machine.
