DriveSentry monitors all writes to your protected areas. If malware attempts to access a protected area, and this malware is contained within the blacklist, the file be automatically blocked, encrypted and sent to Qurantine. This automation does not require user interaction at all and ensures that your system and data is safe from the detected virus.
If a brand new malicious program attempted to access your protected areas and was not yet in the blacklist, DriveSentry will still detect this and trigger a popup notification which requires your interaction. This popup will contain information from the DriveSentry Advisor Community providing statistics based on previous allow or deny decisions made with reagrd to this file. Advisor Community trends allow you can make an informed decision on whether the file is good or bad. The popup notification also contains a recommendation which has been calculated through analysing the behaviour and characteristics of the file. Using this analytical technique DriveSentry informs you of the potential risk that the file presents.
Essentially, this keeps you safe from both the known and the unknown, detecting malware which goes undetected by traditional antivirus software.
