How do I protect myself?
ZoneAlarm ForceField protects you from browser malware and Zero Day Attacks like no other security software solution can.
How can I defend myself?
Get ZoneAlarm ForceField for your browser. ForceField works hard at Web safety so you don't have to, but you should continue to browse with common sense in mind.
How does ForceField protect me?
- Defends against Zero Day browser attacks -- threats that antispyware and antivirus programs cannot yet detect
- Blocks unauthorized downloads and malicious software installations
- Protects your identity by blocking keyloggers and screen grabbers
- Detects phishing sites that were created even seconds before you encountered them
- Private mode option erases all cache, cookies, history and passwords and lets you browse the internet in complete privacy
- Warns you if you go to a known spyware site
How does ForceField work?
It's a technique called "Virtual Browsing". ForceField creates a clone of your computer. As you surf, any malicious unsolicited downloads are safely contained in that clone so they never reach your actual computer.
By creating a virtual browser ForceField can shield you from these Zero Day attacks because unlike traditional anti-spyware and antivirus software, ForceField does not need to know the threat in order to stop it. Instead, it automatically catches and neutralizes stealth Web browser downloads in a safe, virtual data space that acts as your computer's clone.
I already have antivirus software running. Why do I need ForceField?

Are there web safety practices I should follow?
These guidelines are always smart, but absolutely essential if you do not have ForceField:
- Don't download from sites that you don't trust
- Don't enter confidential information into sites you are not familiar with
- Don't shop at sites you don't know
- Update your operating system regularly
- Always run the latest version of your browser software, checking regularly for updates
- Never follow a link from an e-mail that asks you to enter private information. Only malicious sites designed to look like real sites will ask for this. Reputable sites will never ask you to do this!
