Surf, email, watch videos, instant message—and keep the bad guys in check.
The Problem
If you are like most users, whether aware of it or not, you log on to your PC using an administrative account. Logging on as an administrator gives all programs complete, unrestricted access to every piece of information on your PC. In fact, a program with administrative rights can not only read from or write to any file on your computer, it also has the ability to install additional software, change your hardware or software settings, inspect sensitive or personal information, or even completely erase your hard drive. It is these raw, unrestricted administrative rights that viruses and spyware rely on to do their damage.
The Solution
With WindowZones™, you get 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. WindowZones works by restricting an application's access to system files and settings using a patent-pending form of user account control. These restrictions work as a first line of defense to deny malicious programs the default access they need to do their damage. 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 Its protection is never out of date!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 provides a first line of defense against:
- Internet Explorer security vulnerabilities (known and unknown)
- Hackers, Intruders, and Identity Thieves
- Rootkit Installations
- Spyware, Viruses, and Adware Downloads

The most dangerous security risks on the Internet are brand new viruses and spyware. These must first be detected by the anti-virus or anti-spyware providers and your system patched with updated threat signatures. Similarly, new security defects found in your web browser can leave your machine exposed for weeks before they are fixed by the manufacturer. These gaps are what allow thousands, and sometimes millions, of PCs to become infected by malicious internet content. WindowZones does not rely on signatures that need constant updating and instead limits the damage any piece of software can do regardless of its intent. WindowZones works in conjunction with your anti-virus and anti-spyware defenses by protecting your computer and your data in ways that conventional anti-spyware and anti-virus solutions simply cannot do. WindowZones is your first line of defense.
One feature that makes WindowZones truly unique is its patent-pending ability to move programs among security zones on the fly, without restarting them. This means that if you need to perform some operation that requires administrative rights (such as installing a popular document reader), you may simply drag the program back to the Admin Zone temporarily and drag it back to the Safe Zone after the installation is complete.
