What is "Real Time Spyware Threat Protection"?

[Sepp Mayer]

Hello,
does someone know what is: "Realtime Spyware Threat
Protection"?

Sorry my English isn't so good, and i don't understand
the translation of the little explanation, at the
Software.

This Point is under:
Options > Settings > Real-time Protection > Startup
Options > "Realtime Spyware Threat Protection"

Is this an Additional Option or feature, or is it a
restriction of the "Realtime Antispyware Security Agents"
above?

Greetings, Seppi

If you want to understand in detail what that means, open each of the three
agents, and inspect each of the 59 checkpoints they monitor--the
descriptions of those checkpoints tell you what is monitored in real time.

Dear Bill,
was this my Question???

Defintively no!!!

Please read the Question right before answering!!!!

I don't asked the security Agents, I asked what is the
threat Protection in settinmgs!


I hate people who don't read the answers right!

Dear Sepp,
Common courtesy is a good thing. You should try some.

Onto your question: Real time protection is just that: It runs in the
background, similar to an Antivirus program, and attempts to stop threats
from firing off on your computer.

"What is "Real Time Spyware Threat Protection"?"

Real Time threat protection is embodied in the agents and the checkpoints
they monitor.

In addition to the descriptions that I already mentioned, when, for example,
a process attempts to add an object to a startup item, that object is
scanned against the definitions, and will be flagged as known spyware free,
unknown, or spyware--don't know if there are other choices.

Perhaps you could explain better what you believe Real Time Spyware Threat
Protection might be, apart from the checkpoint monitoring. Are you looking
for some hidden magic? As far as I have spotted, Microsoft Antispyware is
not continuously monitoring processes on your machine, waiting to pounce on
ones that match a definition of spyware. It is monitoring those
checkpoints--points where software integrates into Windows.

I learned something about Realtime protection. ;-)

I have to say--this is my understanding of what is happening standing on the
outside looking in. If I'm totally off the mark, maybe Steve Dodson will
comment--there are probably some subtleties that I've missed, but I can't
make out exactly what information Sepp Meyer/Mayer is seeking.
