Malware. An odd sounding word created to lump all
malicious software programs, including viruses, worms, trojans, spyware,
adware, and other malevolent codes into one cause-your-computer-serious-hurt category.
In 2005, Computer
Economics released a report on malware.
The good news was that for the first time since 2002, the total worldwide financial losses from malware
actually declined to a mere $14.2 billion.
The bad news was that the nature of malware was changing from overt threats
to more focused, covert attacks. This definitely is not great news for the
average computer user just trying to keep up with the hundreds of malware
programs that bombard us daily.
It’s not an easy task keeping malware out of your computer system. In order to accomplish this, you need a
strong antivirus program. One such
program that can deliver the goods is ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 from
Zone Labs. Zone Labs is one of the most
trusted brands in Internet Security for good reason. Their product, simply put, kicks serious
malware gluteus maximus.
ZoneAlarm has received more review recommendations that any other
Internet-security software suite because of its superb firewall and antivirus
protection. It blocks pop-up ads,
protects against identify theft and provides adequate spam filters that are
flexible. It even beats the market
leader, Norton Internet Security, which is often criticized for excessive
system drag.
Its newest version includes these additional features:
·
Triple Defense Firewall to prevent spyware from
sending your information across the Internet.
It also makes your computer invisible to anyone on the Net.
·
Smart Defense Advisor which can automatically adjust
your security settings for maximum protection against the latest virus and
spyware outbreaks.
·
Advanced Identify and Privacy Protection to prevent
your personal data from leaving your computer without your approval.
The bonus for the average user who cringes at the idea of setting-up one
of these systems is that the interface is easier to understand and use in
comparison to most if its competitors.
If you choose to venture beyond the out-of-the-box default settings, and
install a more elaborate filtering, know that this will require some additional
time to set up on your part.
Overall, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite is a user-friendly, comprehensive
security solution that will have your computer safe from Internet hazards and cyber
criminals within minutes of installation.
