Q: My computer already has an anti–virus program, isn't that good enough?
A: Unfortunately, not. Anti–virus programs are reactive programs. They can only stop and detect against "known" and already "catalogued" viruses, and they cannot protect you against a brand new virus that has just been written. Most anti–virus software requires a frequently updated database of threats. As new virus programs are released the process of recognizing the “new virus “can take anywhere from several months up to a full year for your anti–virus manufacturer to build a "fix" for a single virus.  . It is estimated that there are currently a thousand new viruses introduced on the Internet on a daily basis. It is an impossible task to immediately identify a new virus and protect against it. GuardedID® is the perfect compliment to your existing anti–virus software. GuardedID® secures everything you type, despite any new keylogging viruses that may have infected your computer without your knowledge, and by encrypting your keystrokes at the keyboard level and routing them to your browser in a secure path.

Q: Why is encryption the strongest form of security?
A: Encryption is a process that scrambles information into a format that unauthorized parties cannot decode or utilize. 128-bit encryption is the strongest, most secure form of encryption generally utilized in Internet browsers in North America. According to RSA Labs, it would take trillion years to crack this type of encryption using today's technology.
