Anti-Exploit x Threat Extraction

Hi,all. 

What is the difference between these 2 functionalities in Harmony Endpoint solution? Because, by definities, it souns very similar:

• Anti-Exploit protects against application threats that exploit memory vulnerabilities. It protects widely targeted applications such as Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF Reader, Browsers, and Adobe Flash.
• Threat Extraction proactively protects users from malicious content. It quickly delivers safe files while the original files are inspected for potential threats.

The main difference is where they execute and when.

• Anti-Exploit runs as you are using your computer.
• Threat Extraction is executed as you download specific document types to your computer. A copy stripped of potentially malicious content is provided to the end user prior to emulation finishing to determine if the document is truly malicious or not.
