Opinion and Analysis

The $A29.95 software works with Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows, and the company says it can be used in conjunction with any other security software. ZoneAlarm ForceField went into beta test in September 2007.

No doubt some cynics will see this as just another piece of security software that people want you to use with Windows, and others will gloat about the perceived security advantages of their favoured operating system.

But if ZoneAlarm ForceField actually delivers what it promises, it could substantially reduce the risk of malware sneaking past conventional security software - especially during the interval between a new threat emerging and vendors making any changes needed to detect it - and increasing people's confidence in Internet banking and other services that involve the transfer of value across the web.

One disappointment is that the Check Point's announcement makes no mention of the previously foreshadowed Instant ForceField for use on borrowed or public computers, a feature that sounded extremely attractive for travellers.
