Virus protection for Flash ads
ADTECH upgrades to protect against malware and virus attacks in flash banners.
Virus protection for Flash ads ADTECH announced a major upgrade to its ad management solution, Helios IQ. An in-house developed malware scanner for flash banners has been added to the solution to prevent hackers from manipulating banner code and redirecting users with online advertising to their infected web sites.
The new malware scanner allows ADTECH clients to ensure the delivery of clean flash ads and prevents users from being exposed to infected websites after a click. Scans are carried out automatically with a detailed analysis of any flash creative uploaded through ADTECHs Helios IQ.

"Helios IQ will display a warning message as soon as the program detects manipulated code in the flash file,” comments Dirk Freytag, CEO at ADTECH. “Thus, we protect users from a nasty surprise."

ADTECH has identified the algorithms of all known flash manipulations and has stored these in the malware scanner. The program is continuously updated, meaning ADTECH can guarantee the highest level of protection from banner manipulation at all times.

Freytag concluded: “We firmly believe in providing our clients and their customers with the very best technology available to guarantee a high level of service. To kick start this, we have activated this new function in the latest feature-release for all ADTECH clients free of charge.”
