Judging by how much animation and glitz is on their website... its fake.

I agree XW, it seems fake.
Dynamic Malicious Code Detection (DMCD)
Another proactive means of detecting known or unknown Viruses is DMCD. Vastly more superior than Heuristics, DMCD uses executable code inspection technology in order to identify malicious code within an executing process.
DMCD physically executes a suspect file within a secure environment, almost similar to an Operating System (OS) emulator. This provides for real-time monitoring and controlling of an executing process at run-time, giving Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) the ability to determine if "suspicious" code segments are truly malicious and therefore a significant reduction in the percentage of "False alarms".
How is that better than heuristics? I rather have more false alarms, then having more major problems.

There's a little more detail here (http://www.prosectrim.com/reading.html).
It's very vague and fully of spelling errors, but what it seems to boil down to is the program will intercept mail and launch attachments in a virtual machine to try and determine a threat level. No information is given on how many attachments per minute it can handle, how it gets updated for new threats, or what types of threat it can defend.
I bet anyone a starbucks that there is no actual product, and never will be.
Just tested their so-called product. It's marking everyone of my files as risk....
Don't judge the product on looks of the site.
I think this product is in it's early stages.
