Traditional Anti-Virus is Not Enough
Let's face it: the current malware prevention practice of relying
upon a blacklist provided by an anti-virus or anti-spyware vendor is
broken. In 2006, malware-writing miscreants unleashed more variants of
their blight at a faster rate than ever before. By some accounts,
70 - 100 new Internet threats are released every day(PCMag
2006). Couple that with the fact that two-thirds of
computer uses do not update their anti-virus programs regularly(Harris
Interactive 2006) and you can see why virus outbreaks still happen at
an alarming rate.
Even those who do update their anti-virus and anti-spyware programs
regularly are not immune. So-called "zero-day" attacks was one of
the hottest topics in the security realm for 2006. A recent study(Commtouch
2006) has found that it takes anti-virus
companies an average of over eight hours to update their virus
identifications. And that's breakneck speed compared to how long it
takes software vendors to patch vulnerabilities in their applications.
Giving Viruses Admin Rights to Your Computer?
It sounds crazy, but it's true on many Windows PCs. Most computer users
log on to Windows using a default administrative account. Logging on as
an administrator gives all programs, whether they are trusted or malware,
administrative rights to everything on a PC. A program run with
administrative rights can install rogue software, alter system files,
change hardware or software settings, even completely erase the hard
drive. It is these default administrative rights that viruses and
spyware rely on to do their damage.
WindowZones Protects when Others Fail
With WindowZones™ by ByteCrusher Labs, you can dramatically
reduce your exposure to
Internet threats. Especially effective against zero-day attacks, WindowZones provides robust and flexible protection against malicious internet content for all of your Internet applications, including web browsers, email clients, instant messaging applications, peer-to-peer download clients, and more. Because WindowZones works at the access level rather than the detection level, it does not require signature updates. Its protection is never out of date!
WindowZones Takes a Unique Approach
WindowZones protects a Windows PC by removing administrative rights
from Internet-facing applications such as Internet browsers and email
clients. By running these applications in the Safe Zone, intrusion
attempts will be denied system-level access. What makes WindowZones
unique in this regard is its patent-pending ability to remove or replace
these administrative rights on the fly, without needing to restart the
application, create special short-cuts, or run command line tools. If a
user needs to perform an operation that requires administrative rights,
such as installing a popular document reader through their browser, they
simply drag the browser from the Safe Zone to the Admin Zone temporarily
and drag it back to the Safe Zone after the installation is complete.
WindowZones works in conjunction with existing security products to protect
a personal computer in ways that conventional anti-spyware and anti-virus solutions simply cannot do. WindowZones provides a first line of defense against:
- Internet browser security vulnerabilities (known and unknown)
- Hackers, Intruders, and Identity Thieves
- Rootkit Installations
- Spyware, Viruses, and Adware Downloads
WindowZones' ease-of-use provides a "set it and forget it" peace
of mind to Windows users.
