New ZoneAlarm Extreme Security with full disk encryption

Check Point announced ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 which introduces ZoneAlarm Hard Drive Encryption. This solution automatically encrypts all hard drive content to protect all personal data.

Hard Drive Encryption also safeguards the key system information that users tend to forget, such as automatically-stored passwords, cookies, temporary Internet files and recycle bin documents. Coupled with included services that alert consumers to possible fraud, offer 24/7 password recovery, and help victims of identify theft, ZoneAlarm delivers comprehensive security for Internet users.

Multiple security technologies included in the new ZoneAlarm Extreme Security suite – including personal firewall, anti-phishing and wireless network security – provide critical protection against computer and Web-based attacks that can bypass traditional security suites. For example, new Advanced Download Protection automatically checks and analyzes the programs a user wants to download to determine if they are safe or malicious.
