Intelliguard and Behavior Guard

[dallas7]

The PC Tools Web site details the behaviors of both Intelliguard and Behavior Guard with near-verbatim descriptions.

What reason would there be to run both?

Hi dallas7,

Intelli Guard provides signature based protection, whereas Behavior Guard will detect infections according to their behavior.

Behavior Guard provides leading edge protection from zero-day (never seen before) threats, built on the award-winning ThreatFire technology.

Behavior Guard is designed to pro-actively defend your computer against both known and unknown threats solely by detecting their malicious behavior. Traditional antivirus software cannot do this and only offers reactive protection, meaning it can only protect you from new threats after the threat has been discovered and new signatures to protect against it are developed, tested, and then released for download. Behavior Guard does not rely on signatures to protect you; instead, it uses intelligent behavioral analysis to proactively hunt down and paralyze activities or behaviors that might compromise the security of your computer.
