Secure-It™ is a local Windows security hardening tool developed by Thierry Zoller, it proactively secures your PC by either disabling the intrusion and propagation vectors proactively or reduce the attack surface by disabling underlying functionality malware uses to execure itself.
It secures Windows desktop PCs 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
A lot of users gave feedback to ask how and what Secure-It exactly does to protect them as they can't understand how something that doesn't stay resident (run all the time) somehow may in fact protect them. The truth is far from that.
In fact Secure-It is the only freeware security solution in the world that blocks vulnerabilities proactively that malware exploits to infect Windows computers
