Includes the New Industry-Lauded OSFirewall(TM), Becoming the First
Major Dedicated Anti-Spyware Solution to Be Packaged with a
Firewall Zone Labs(R), a Check Point(R) company (NASDAQ: CHKP),
today launched the new ZoneAlarm(R) Anti-Spyware, the industry's
first dedicated spyware prevention solution based upon
next-generation firewall technology. ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is
available to customers around the world in six languages including
English, Japanese, German, Spanish, Italian and French at
www.zonelabs.com. ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware offers consumers complete
PC protection from Internet-based attacks such as spyware, Trojans,
keyloggers, and rootkits. It includes the company's vanguard
OSFirewall(TM) to beat hackers and repel destructive programs
intended to steal personal information for criminal purposes. Going
beyond traditional scanning and removal techniques, ZoneAlarm
Anti-Spyware stops spyware from gaining a foothold on a PC at the
kernel level, rather than merely treating it after the damage is
done. "The basic foundation of any spyware prevention solution has
to be the firewall, because it goes beyond reactive signature-based
technologies," said Gregor Freund, chief technology officer at
Check Point. "Currently, only Zone Labs offers customers a new type
of firewall that monitors the operating system in addition to the
more typical Internet communications. This is particularly
important because if you can stop spyware from executing its
malicious intent, you can surf the Internet confident that your
personal information is safe." ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware also features
the industry's only Automatic Kill Control function. This enhanced
firewall capability disables over 50,000 malicious or dangerous
programs, offering customers real-time protection from new and
emerging threats. The Current Threat Landscape Means Prevention is
Key A recent Harris Interactive survey commissioned by Zone Labs
recently revealed that 78% of users do not feel any safer on the
Internet today than a year ago. Spyware infestations are on the
rise as hackers revert to quieter, more targeted attacks intended
to steal personal information. And most current solutions rely on
outdated scanning tactics to remove programs whenever a scan
happens to be triggered. "That's too late," said Laura Yecies, vice
president at Check Point and general manager of Zone Labs. "Your
personal data and your bandwidth now have monetary value on the
black market. Hackers want your passwords. Or they want to hijack
your PC. We created ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware with the idea that
proactive prevention is the only way to go - because security is no
longer about keeping your PC working, it's about protecting you."
