ZoneAlarm "ForceField" available for Free, on Aug

[Wiz Feinberg]

ZoneAlarm will allow users to download the full version of its ZoneAlarm ForceField virtualized browser application for free on Patch Tuesday, the company said Friday.

Users who go to the designated ZoneAlarm site at 6 AM PDT on Tuesday, Aug. 12 will receive a complimentary version of ForceField. The offer is good for twenty-four hours after the launch.

Normally, ForceField costs $29.99 to purchase (including a year's subscription of updates) and $19.99 thereafter for another year's subscription.

First announced in 2007, the heart of the ForceField system is a "bubble of security" — a virtualization system that isolates the browser from the computer. Any browser-based exploits fail because they can't touch the computer's actual files or Registry items. If a user is tricked into launching a Trojan, it, too, is trapped in the bubble. ForceField displays a visible force-field "aura" around each browser window to show that it's active."

I may download a copy to try out, next Tuesday, but as of now I have no opinion about this product. If you want to try it out, you can't beat the price on Tuesday!
