ZoneAlarm ForceField

Over at ZoneAlarm they have a new software offering called ForceField that I downloaded last night for testing. This new software promises to totally eliminate spyware and other attacks that we may encounter while surfing the Internet. This is a pretty big claim to make. But ForceField does something different in the way it protects our computers. It actually uses virtualized browsing software coupled with a feature called Private Browsing. These features allow users to surf the net without fear of attack.

But does it really work? I’m going to be testing the software for the next few weeks to see how it functions. ZoneAlarm offers a trial version of ForceField for you to try.

Comments welcome.

    I have used zone alarm forcefield some month’s ago now I found it hard to use with Mozilla Firefox with little success but I understand zone alarm now resolved this issue and I forcefield worked extremely well with internet explorer based browser’s with stunning results I had increased browsing speed and over all less issues after some intense web session’s that challenge limit of any software, and I forcefield to be exactly that a force field for a browser has my vote anytime 8/10 on the browserometer highly recommended….

    Hello lee,
    Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

    When you get a chance, if you haven’t already done so, take Firefox RC1for a spin and see what you think.
