Hey all in this tutorial i will be telling you all about a nice tool called Crystal AEP.
CrystalAEP is designed to provide frontline protection against Internet-borne threats such as viruses and malware. Unlike the typical anti-virus program, Crystal does not attempt to recognize threats based on signatures, and does not require constant updating to protect against the latest threats. Crystal works instead by manipulating at-risk software while it runs to help form an environment which is hostile to Internet worms, malware and other types of malicious code.
The program protects a number of high profile processes automatically after you have installed it. This includes web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox, Acrobat Reader, Excel, VLC or Winamp. The protection level is set to minimum, the lowest available level by default to avoid issues when running the programs on the system.
Minimum – Provides only the basic protection, none of which should be invasive or disrupt delicate programs. This mode provides a backstop against some classes of threat and is surprisingly effective considering the limited features that it enables, but is not recommended for most programs as little is done to disrupt exploit attempts.
Moderate – A good improvement on Minimum, this mode aims to provide a compromise between reliability and security, erring on the side of reliability. This mode is recommended for applications which do not cope well with the High mode of protection, but is otherwise not recommended.
High – Provides an equal balance between reliability and security. Most of the particularly effective anti-exploit techniques are enabled when using this mode. This is the recommended mode for most users.
Maximum – This mode provides the highest level of protection which Crystal affords, enabling nearly all of the protection features the product can offer. Occasionally Maximum protection provides too locked-down an environment for flexible programs to operate under, and is therefore not recommended above High for most users. Maximum can be enabled for systems for which security is absolutely paramount above software reliability.
You can click on Configuration > Basic Options to modify the protection levels, or add running or installed programs to the list of protected applications. It is possible to configure different protection levels for processes, so that high profile applications like Java, Firefox or Internet Explorer run on a higher level than programs like SnagIt or Wordpad.
You can also alternatively open the Expert Options and configure the protection methods for each process in greater detail. Only users who know what they are doing should bother to make changes to these features as they require a great deal of security know how.
There is also a content filtering option, but it is not selected by default, and only available for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.
The program displays the most recent alerts in the main program window. Here it is also possible to enable realtime alerts and to disable the protection that it provides.
Hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and if you have any problem or question then you may ask in comments.
