ZoneAlarm ForceField Beta Released

ZoneAlarm Forcefield beta has just been released for Windows XP and Windows Vista. It should be working with Internet Explorer 6-7 and Firefox 1.x-2.x versions. So what is it all about? It can protect you from various “bad things”. And as they say: “Protect yourself by creating a virtual “You” on any PC…”

ForceField lets you connect and communicate the way you already do online, only with a combination of protective measures that makes you impervious. It uses a virtualization engine that shields your computer and personal data from Internet and computer-based threats. It also includes numerous protection layers to combat phishing, spyware and dangerous file downloads.

Isn’t that a good idea?

More details.

It’s a Beta only, still many issues needs to be fixed. However, feel free to try it if you are interested.

Known issues:

Virtualized surfing – Creates a “bubble of security” around your browsing session that works two ways: it protects your PC from Web site threats such as drive-by downloads; and protects your browsing session from threats on your PC

Seamless use – surf as you always do without any special knowledge required and no interruptions

Keylogger jamming – protects your browsing, banking and shopping by disabling keyloggers/screengrabbers that may reside on your PC

Anti-spyware scanning during your browsing session to protect you as you bank and shop

Phishing and fraudulent Web site warning and protection

Dangerous download scanning and protection

Private browsing to completely erase your surfing tracks from your PC (not yet in the beta)

Svelte proportions – ForceField can be deployed to any PC within about 30 seconds in its Instant ForceField form (not available in current beta), making it convenient for on-the-go use on shared public computers.
