About Tenebril the Company

Overview

These days, spyware is running rampant on the Internet. Threats range from pop-up ads that annoy to dangerous imposters that secretly sneak onto computer systems in search of private financial information and everything in between. Tenebril products such as SpyCatcher and GhostSurf protect computer users from these threats and allow for a safer, more private surfing experience.

Roots

Tenebril Inc. started out in 1998 before being acquired by Process Software, a leading communications software provider, in 2006. While Process Software now owns Tenebril, the Tenebril name lives on. With a strong history as a leader in security and privacy technologies, Tenebril continues to innovate. Tenebril’s products incorporate a unique, patent-pending technology called the “Tenebril Spyware Profiling Engine” that is able to detect and defeat emerging spyware threats and mutating threats for “zero-day” protection.

Over the past decade, Tenebril has earned prestigious awards for both SpyCatcher and GhostSurf including the 2005 Smart Choice Award from Smart Computing for SpyCatcher and the 2005 Editor’s Choice Award from PC Magazine for GhostSurf 2005 Platinum.

Products

SpyCatcher - SpyCatcher is an aggressive defense against mutating spyware and emerging threats. It uses advanced behavioral screening techniques to identify possible threats - long before they’ve been discovered by researchers. Real-time protection and anti-phishing filters further protect users against malware. For Enterprise and Business Tenebril offers ultra-power in its Spycatcher Enterprise.
SpyCatcher Express - The free Express version of SpyCatcher detects and deletes spyware but lacks the full line of features found in SpyCatcher.
GhostSurf - Internet surfers who want to surf anonymously can do so with GhostSurf which encrypts Internet connections and erases Web tracks.
GhostSurf Platinum - The Platinum version of GhostSurf further protects online surfers by adding spyware protections, identity theft and credit card fraud protections, and file encryption. In addition, this software eliminates all forms of online ads.
Other Tenebril Utilities - Tenebril also offers utilities such as StickyNote, Uninstaller, Personal Data Vault, MemoryBoost Pro, TracksCleaner, and AdArmor.

How it Works

Tenebril’s computer security products are sold on a yearly license basis. Licenses allow users to get the latest updates and defense against emerging threats. Buying a two-year license saves money compared to renewing the license each year. Volume licenses are also available. The free version of SpyCatcher, SpyCatcher Express, is completely free though it lacks the more sophisticated features of the full version.

Recommendations

Tenebril products are powerful at combating the latest malware emerging as well as protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your Internet surfing. 15-day trial versions are also available. If you’re concerned about your privacy online, download the trial version of the GhostSurf Platinum product and see for yourself. The complete blocking of advertisements alone may be worth the price.
