Geek Superhero watches dozens and dozens of important settings on your computer, immediately notifying you when a change is made to confirm whether you want to keep or reject the change. This catches many of the changes a virus, worm, or trojan program will make to your computer and lets you immediately fix them back!

Features include:

• Protects your web browser's home page and other important settings. It lets you easily fix things if your browser has been taken over by a hijacker, and watches for hijackers trying to invade.
• Helps your computer start faster by keeping unnecessary things from starting every time you start Windows.
• Keeps you from having your modem's phone number changed to dial expensive pay-per-minute numbers when connecting to the Internet!
• Prevents programs you install from adding new icons or favourites that you don't want.

The program helps you prevent worms, hackers, or other malicious programs from invading your computer by letting you easily turn off rarely used Windows features. Features that have had security problems and have been exploited by several worms like MSBlast already.

Geek Superhero improves your web browsing by blocking unwanted popup windows using smart checks to automatically show the windows you want, but block the advertisements you don't want. It protects your privacy by blocking "Web Bugs" - tags that are invisibly included on web pages to track you.

This download is the free trial version of Geek Superhero. The full version can be purchased for around $25.00 USD.
