However SSM is not an anti-virus software, i.e. it does not provide means to find and to remove a particular malware program. Also it cannot be used to recover system damages caused by such programs if they were allowed to happen. It provides you with protection against attacks that can bypass traditional firewalls, anti-virus, and other signature based security tools that can only deal with known threats already described in their signature database. SSM controls an application behavior and its access attempts to the local system resources according to the rules set by the user. This way SSM can protect critical system processes or data from both known and unknown threats. Being independent on timely signature database updates SSM is a must to have software for the machines that connect to the Internet just occasionally. Malware and spyware programs basically use similar methods to do their job (though the implementation details may vary). SSM's main task is to discover and block malicious actions of any application.
