Secure-It™ is a local Windows security hardening tool, proactively secure your PC by either disabling the intrusion and propagation vectors proactively or simply reduce the attack surface by disabling unimportant functions.
It secures Windows desktop PCs aswell as Internet servers against new dangers by blocking the root cause of the vulnerabilities exploited by malware, worms and spy ware . In some cases Secure-it is even able to protect your PC against threats prior to a patch release of the vendor.

System Hardening Feature Set :
· Harden your Local Zone Security (My Computer) settings.
· Proactively disable scripting or Active-X controls which proved potential propagation vectors in the past.
· Reduce potential intrusion vectors by disabling non used services.
· Various other protections
New this version:
· Option to disable Windows File Protection and to disable wscript.exe, cscript.exe, ftp.exe, tftp.exe (often used in exploits). An Exploit has been posted by Ferruh Mavituna to circumvent our Shell.Application block by using Wscript.Shell. This option renders the new exploit ineffective.
· Disable potential dangerous Scripting extensions : Exploit scripts have been updated to circumvent our Shell.Application block, now Wscript.Shell is used to run the dangerous code. (If you need to run WFS, VBE, JSE, VBS don't disable) |
