Keeping you protected 24-7

Actiance's spyware research base is the result of seven years' working with customers to identify and address problems associated with greynet applications. Every instance reported by a customer is analyzed by the team and incorporated as appropriate into the company's spyware database, enabling every customer to immediately take advantage of new detection and remediation through automated updates.

By combining analysis of all greynet applications from IM to P2P to spyware, the Actiance Security Labs team is uniquely well-equipped to provide organizations with the information they need to make informed choices about application behavior that will and will not be tolerated on their networks.

SpywareGuide.com was acquired by Actiance Communications in the spring of 2005. From the outset it was Actiance's desire to keep SpywareGuide.com, its community and expert team intact with the primary mission to study and document the spyware and adware landscape in an objective fashion.
