SofTrack Blocks Games and Viruses

SofTrack includes several features to assist you in preventing games and viruses from being introduced into your environment.

When you use SofTrack's Local Workstation Agent technology you can quickly and easily:
  • Block illicit internet downloads that automatically install appplications
  • Halt attempts to create and/or modify EXE and DLL files
  • Prevent use of any application from a removable device including CDs & Memory Sticks
  • Stop use of SETUP.EXE, INSTALL.EXE and any other application by its filename
SofTrack can serve as your primary defense or as supplement to other technologies you may be using. SofTrack monitors user activity at the operating system level to ensure its protection is not subverted.

This beneficial technology prevents users and the applications they use from performing unwanted activities such as creating and/or modifying application files (EXE, DLL and COM). This means you can further lock down your users' workstations by stopping installation (intentional or otherwise) of web downloads.

By completely blocking application launches from removable devices, SofTrack stops users from bringing games from home that may contain viruses. Removable devices include CDROM, DVD, Memory Sticks, Cell Phones, MP3 players, and so on.

Using SofTrack's software metering technolog you can easily define a list of applications by filename (SETUP.EXE, INSTALL.EXE, FLASHGET.EXE, WEATHERBUG.EXE, EDONKEY.EXE and so on).

How it works:

1. After installing SofTrack you open the Server Agent Options screen:

Audit and Control Options - Configuration Screen
Audit and Control - Configuration Screen

And enable the following options:

  • Deny Rename and Create requests for all files ending in *.EXE, *.DLL or *.COM

  • Block Execution of Files from Removable Devices (USB, CDROM, etc.)

  • Block Execution of Files from any Temporary Directory (used by ZIP, web downloads)
And click OK to save.

2. Load or Restart the SofTrack Windows® Workstation Agent at each intended workstation. You can use the SofTrack Push Console to easily and rapidly deploy this agent to your workstations.

3. To block a list of predefined applications by filename, create a new License Profile and add the list of filenames to the Local Windows Files and/or Macintosh Files tabs.

4. SofTrack is now helping you to block games, viruses and unwanted application installations in your network.
