5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
It works with Internet Explorer (version 5.0 and higher) and Firefox (version 1.0 and higher) for Windows XP, creating a virtual identity that can be discarded at the end of the session. It blocks spyware distribution sites, phishing sites (via heuristics as well as signatures) and browser exploits; vets all downloaded files; and blocks keyloggers and screengrabbers already running on the PC. The software can also prevent any traces of web use from being left on the computer, improving privacy. Check Point claims its new program is compatible with any brand of antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall software. A Windows Vista version is promised. When the product ships in early 2008, it will include Instant ForceField, a portable version for use on borrowed or public computers. That alone could be worth the $US29.95 price for those who frequently use untrusted computers. The beta can be downloaded via the ZoneAlarm web site. |
