A couple of years ago, I was told about Checkpoint's Zone Alarm and I decided to install it on my computer that then. I found it very insteresting since is a tool that really cuts completely all the communications between the computer and the internet. Nothing can send a single bit or receive one from the net without Zone Alarm's authorization.
Now, checkpoit is releasing their "ForceField" the first time I've heard this, I felt like Luke Skywalker flying in his X-Wing.
There are many programs available on the market that protect the PCs While surfing, such as security suites, antivirus, antispam or antiphishing. Zonealarm ForceField, protects the web browsers. Each time the browser is executed, the Force Field begins working. It analyzes possibles vulnerabilityes, blocking fraud websites, keyloggers or malware downloads.
It has some features worth to describe. The first one I liked was the "private browser". When the user selects this feature, a new browser window is oppenened, and It deletes all that the user did on such window: Passwords, cookies, history.
