Product Details


How does SaskTel Internet Threat Detector work?

The SaskTel Internet Threat Detector service analyzes your Internet traffic for threats that can lead to identity theft. The SaskTel Internet Threat Detector service acts like your identity theft 'burglar alarm'. If it detects the presence of an online threat (i.e. break-in) that was missed by your security software (i.e. burglar picked the lock on the door), it will send you an alert (i.e. sound the alarm) to ensure your personal information stays safe.

In the event of an alert, you are given step-by-step instructions to fix the problem. You can access this portal from anywhere at any time to get more information about the threat and step-by-step instructions for removing the threats to ensure your computers are protected.

Why do I need SaskTel Internet Threat Detector?

Rather than damaging your computer, criminals are attacking home computers to make money by stealing your personal identity. And, you may not even know it's happening, since they can disable your anti-virus software but make it appear as if it's still working. Consumers have lost billions in the last couple of years due to cyber-crime and every 2 seconds another person becomes a victim of identity theft. Up-to-date anti-virus software, while essential, can't be your only protection when your personal identity is at risk.

Minimum system requirements:

  • SaskTel Highspeed Internet
  • Internet Browser
  • IE7 (or higher)
  • Firefox 2 (or higher)
  • Safari 2 (or higher)
  • Chrome 5 (or higher)
  • Opera 9 (or higher)

When a threat is detected, you will receive an email or SMS alert, depending on your preferences, with instructions on how to fix the problem. The link will direct you to the SaskTel Internet Threat Detector portal.

The recommended 3rd party tools used to remove the infections are only supported on computers running Windows XP or later. If you run an older operating system, use a Mac, or are accessing the system through a mobile, tablet or gaming device, then the service will only detect threats and alert the user of infections.

The SaskTel Internet Threat Detector service is offered by SaskTel for a fee or, like many other Internet applications, at no cost through relevant advertising. With the no-cost option, SaskTel will analyze your Internet traffic for threats and to display relevant ads on mysask.com and selected partner web sites.

SaskTel services are built around privacy practices that surpass those implemented by today's leading online application providers. Our technology will continually score, but not store, web sites visited and searches conducted to assign a numeric value to various interest categories. Relevant ads may be shown on the pages you visit if the scoring suggests an interest in a pre-existing category. We do NOT collect any personal data; we NEVER share information with any advertisers or partner web sites; and we do NOT install software on any computers nor do we read e-mail or instant messages. You can disable the service at any time.

If you are uncomfortable with the terms of the no cost service, SaskTel also offers a monthly subscription fee option for the SaskTel Internet Threat Detector service. If you select the paid subscription option, then SaskTel will analyze your Internet traffic only for attacks and other malicious activities that could place your personal information or computer at risk (i.e., your Internet traffic will be monitored without the presence of advertisements).
