AppGuard Alternatives

AppGuard is described as 'Software blocks malware attacks that your existing anti-virus/spyware cannot yet detect. Cyber criminals modify the malicious code they buy off the Internet so your AV/AS can not detect it, which is disturbingly easy. AppGuard does not rely on signatures' and is an app. There are eight alternatives to AppGuard for Windows, Linux, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Mac. The best AppGuard alternative is CyberLock (formerly VoodooShield). It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Applocker or Ultra Adware Killer. Other great apps like AppGuard are OSArmor, NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro, Carbon Black Protection and Faronics Anti-Executable.
