returned from the most popular search engines are evaluated for dangerous or
suspicious links. By checking these links and marking the bad links, this
component warns you before you click on dangerous or suspicious links, so you
can ensure you only go to safe websites.

Surf-Shield

try to open, and prevent it from being downloaded to your computer. With this
feature enabled, clicking a link or typing in a URL to a dangerous site will
automatically block you from opening the web page thus protecting you from
inadvertently being infected.
·
Update Manager

this component you can schedule automatic downloads of update files either
