SystemGuards detect potentially unauthorized changes to your
computer's registry and other critical files that are essential to
Windows. Browser SystemGuards, however, monitor changes to
important registry items and files like Internet Explorer add-ons,
Internet Explorer URLs, and Internet Explorer security zones. By
monitoring these, Browser SystemGuards technology helps
prevent unauthorized browser activity such as redirection to
suspect Web sites, changes to browser settings and options
without your knowledge, and unwanted trusting of suspect Web
sites.
