Is EarthLink Attack Shield still included with your Protection Control Center?
No. EarthLink Attack Shield is now a separate, stand-alone product, offered as the primary layer of security to protect your identity and online transactions. Add this to our free Protection Control Center or any other anti-virus program to help protect your identity from online threats.
Why was Attack Shield separated from EarthLink's Protection Control Center®?
We decided to separate Attack Shield from Protection Control Center so that we could increase the effectiveness of and protection provided by Protection Control Center and offer a better security product for our members. Our new, more powerful version of Protection Control Center is powered by Kaspersky Lab, a leader in security software. Attack Shield is powered by AVG and will continue to provide unmatched identity and anti-virus detection benefits. While it is now separate security software, EarthLink Attack Shield will continue to complement the benefits of Protection Control Center, and their continued pairing is recommended.
Why do I need EarthLink Attack Shield if I already have another anti-virus program?
While traditional anti-virus products offer a broad range of protection, today's threat landscape requires specialized protection offered by EarthLink Attack Shield. EarthLink Attack Shield delivers dynamic detection. This detection is an advanced form of protection that guards your PC from zero-day threats, providing protection for your identity.
EarthLink Attack Shield works in a new way. It is a proactive solution that helps identify most types of malicious programs or code that are attempting to run on your system based on their behavior (what they do rather than what they are.)
Traditional security products can only identify malware based on signature files that require updates and can only scan your system for known threats.
EarthLink Attack Shield provides a solution against unknown threats that currently do not have signature files; it identifies the threats and removes them from your system.
What are the most important benefits of EarthLink Attack Shield?
How does EarthLink Attack Shield work?
EarthLink Attack Shield uses a unique technology approach called Active MDT to detect and remove malicious software in real-time without relying on signatures and scanning.
Active MDT works by continuously monitoring and analyzing the behavior of every piece of code running on the machine. It combines multiple behaviors to get an accurate picture of whether something is malicious or not, regardless of how it got on your computer. Once something is identified as malicious, Active MDT stops and removes it from your computer, along with all of its related components.
What is Active MDT?
Active Malware Defense Technology (MDT) is an innovative approach that uses behavior heuristics to detect and remove malicious software before it can harm your PC.
Active MDT provides superior protection for PCs because it identifies a combination of behaviors as the definition of malware, instead of looking at a single behavior or using a single rule. Active MDT has numerous built-in detection mechanisms to determine if a program is truly malware. These include (1) stealth detection, the identifying of hidden files and processes, (2) survival detection, which includes multiple generic and advanced methods for detecting programs that start automatically and (3) payload analysis, key logger detection, unusual network activity, and unusual system activity.
What are the main types of attacks that EarthLink Attack Shield helps protect against?
EarthLink Attack Shield helps protect against a broad array of attack classes including:

What's better about the way EarthLink Attack Shield removes malware?
Most anti-spyware tools rely on removal scripts which are specific to one instance of malware. When the script is applied to other machines it often fails to remove all the related components. This approach also fails to protect from new attacks, variants of existing attacks and targeted attacks, all of which require a unique removal script in order to be effective.
EarthLink Attack Shield removes malware accurately and completely without scanning your personal computer or relying on removal signatures. The removal process starts as soon as an attack is detected, preventing it from being able to propagate itself and install additional components, which would otherwise start a malicious chain of events. Removal is deep and thorough, tracking down and eliminating all related components (e.g. dlls, registry settings, configuration files), handling re-install prevention, system configuration recovery, and removal of system extensions such as services, LSPs, BHOs, and many others.
What is spyware?
The term "spyware" refers to software programs that collect personal information from you without your knowledge or permission. Some types of spyware programs are fairly benign, while others are extremely dangerous. The information that spyware collects can range from all the Web sites you visit to more sensitive information like user names and passwords. You might be the target of spyware if you download music from file-sharing programs, free games from sites you don't trust, or other software programs from unknown sources. Spyware can sometimes infect your computer using security holes in the Windows Operating System, or by no actual actions of your own.
How concerned should I be about spyware?
Very. Spyware is a growing problem and it can harm both you and your PC. Consider that today, your identity is valued between $15 and $150 on the black market. Your identity includes everything from your bank account numbers to logon credentials and transaction histories. As the fastest growing crime in America, identity thieves and hackers are increasing the efficiency of their attacks. Today, hackers will load malware into images and position them with pay per click advertisers. The result is that by simply viewing a page, thieves and hackers may be able to load malware on to your system. Once there, they can begin mining your identity or PC resources to mine another system.
