GeoTrust Anti-Malware Scan for website to prevent anti-malware activity on global scale.

St. Petersburg, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2011 -- RapidSSLonline announces the release of the brand-new GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Scan effective October 20. The 20th is the first day the product will be available, and GeoTrust is not planning to sell it directly but solely through its "channel" network of resellers such as RapidSSLonline.

The GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Scan scans 50 pages of a site. If it senses any malware during that search, it continues to scan beyond that point. This product comes with a GeoTrust Anti-Malware Seal which was rigorously market-tested for its effectiveness with site visitors across a broad spectrum. The GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Scan is not just signature-based but behavioral. This behavioral aspect means it isn't just looking for known malware via a laundry list of malware "signatures," but also allows it to identify malware by unusual behavior on the site. In this sense, the GeoTrust Web Site Anti-Malware Scan is alive, always growing and developing.

An unbranded version of the Anti-Malware Scan is available as an add-on. This version uses the same GeoTrust technology to scan the site, but only goes 5 pages deep initially and does not have the same predictive, behavioral capabilities as the branded version does. It also does not come with the GeoTrust Anti-Malware Seal. Though this scan does not have all the bells and whistles and is a less sophisticated product, it is more economical and at least provides some protection against malware.

Using either of these products gives businesses a better shot at avoiding search engine and browser blacklisting. Malware is becoming more and more prevalent on the Internet all the time. 286 million unique forms of malware threaten online businesses every day, so some form of protection is vital.
