DLGuard Review – Digital File Download Protection From a Powerful Download Guard Software

Recently, I was looking around for a download protection script that can protect my digital file downloads from internet piracy and theft.

So, I started to ask around for help, and one of the trainers on a search engine marketing forum recommended me DLGuard.com.

Being a skeptic of online products and software, especially when an excellent salescopy can make an inferior product looks good, I decided to conduct my own research on DLGuard before I purchase and buy it with my hard-earned money!

What I was about to discover surprised me!

To cut the whole story short, I spent more than one week checking out many web sites (yes, many of them!) that are discussing about DLGuard.com and I can tell you that DLGuard customers are a happy lot of customers.

Along the process of researching on this popular file download protection software, I actually discovered the following:

1. One of my Internet marketing mentors has actually given his testimonial on DLGuard.com!

2. The various online marketing projects in which I am actively involved in are actually powered by DLguard to secure their digital downloads!

Naturally, I went ahead to get the feedback from my fellow marketers about this piece of software script. Their responses? DLGuard is a high quality piece of software that performs what it does, at an affordable price. I was also told it was easy to setup, and the customer support from the product owner Sam Stephens was excellent.

Needless to say, I made my decision to buy DLGuard shortly after my research because of too many good DLGuard reviews. With a money-back guarantee for my purchase, there was absolutely nothing I can lose. If I do not like this digital download protection script, I can simply ask for a refund.

After I have purchased and downloaded DLGuard onto my computer, I wanted to set it up soon. At this point, I had a few pleasant surprises from this nifty piece of script…

To make installation of the script simple, Sam Stephens has actually created an executable installation file that you can run on your computer to automatically transfer all the files from your local computer onto your web server after you have supplied all the necessary web server login credentials during the installation wizard setup. You do not even need to launch your FTP client to do the manual uploading and installation yourself, unless you choose to.

All the components that are required to run the DLGuard software are also packaged inside the executable file to make things easier for you.

As an Internet Marketer and an ex-programmer, I can tell you how much the non-techies or newbies will appreciate this handy feature because it will save many of you the headache of installing your own script.

Nevertheless, I had a small issue when I was trying to install the script, and the issue is with my web host company because I need to set up my web hosting account correctly to run DLGuard.

After posting on DLGuard support forum for help, Sam actually responded to my forum post within a short few hours with the answers I needed and his offer to help me out if I have any more problems.

By now, you should realise that I have just became another happy customer of Sam!

Just in case you want to know what are the other reasons that made me choose DLGuard over other download protection scripts, here they are:

1. Membership management is another feature of DLGuard. This means that you can easily create a paid or free membership site with it. It can also perform automatic signups and removals, and protect the download links within your new membership site. You can use it to create a recurring sales (membership) web site as a new source of income.

2. You can also set up a built-in shopping cart to offer your customers a range of products that they would like to buy. Your customers can add the desired products into their shopping cart and then make payments for all their products. You can use DLGuard to sell your ebooks, software titles, downloadable music or videos, and more!

3. DLGuard is also integrated with the major payment systems online such as Paypal, Clickbank, PayDotCom, 1ShoppingCart, 2CO and many others! So you can be sure that when you changes your payment systems, you can still continue to use the script.

4. And you can install DLGuard on 2 of your web sites for the price of one as long as you own both web sites!

This is my DLGuard review and I am recommending this wonderful software to all my clients and friends if they need an excellent, affordable and robust file download protection software to protect and streamline their online businesses.

Types of Computer Viruses

In computing terminology, a ‘malicious code’ is a term used for computer viruses and programs designed to cause damage to computers. Other types of destructive PC worms are known as Internet virus including the examples like Worms and Trojans.

Outlined below is the description of different kinds of computer viruses:

Program/File Infector

Falling under the category of parasitic viruses, a program or file infector attempts to infect the files with extension code like .exe, .com, .drv, .dil, .bin, .ovl, and .sys. It gets activate along with the execution of executable file containing virus. The virus then loads itself into memory and replicates itself to other executable files when these files are opened or run.

The File Infector virus can destroy the content contained in files and cause irreversible damage to them. Some file viruses have also operated as email worm and Trojan horse.

The best way to disinfect files infected by the file virus is to delete them and restore from back up.

Macro Computer Virus

A macro computer virus is a virus written in a language built into a software application such as a word processor. For example: Microsoft Office has the macro language built into its application. This is why most of its application programs are affected by macro computer virus.

Macro viruses are generally created using the macro recorder or Visual Basic for Applications. The applications that are the most prone to this antivirus are Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets, Power Point Presentation, and Access Database. The virus infects templates of these documents and therefore every file that the user opens gets affected. Some common macro computer viruses are Auto Exec, Auto New, Auto Open, Auto Close, and Auto Exit.

The auto macros can be disabled by using the command ‘DisableAutoMacros’ in any macro that is written. Another way to remove it is by holding down the shift key while opening a document.

Multi-Partite Virus

It behaves in the same way as other computer viruses do. As the name signifies, they are sometimes more than one type. These are hybrids and are known as multi-partite virus.

Polymorphic Viruses

It is a kind of virus which produces different but operational copies for itself. Its attack is considered to be extremely dangerous as virus detectors will not be able to detect all instances of virus attacks simultaneously. And this is one of the reasons why it is known to be strategically designed.

Stealth Viruses

A stealth virus uses different mechanisms to prevent recognition by antivirus software. It tries to escape detection either by redirecting the disk head to head to read another sector or modifying the file size shown in the Directory listing.

Classification of some viruses is not possible as they are the file type viruses which start behaving as computer worms with an activation code.
