More information and a full list of product features and benefits on ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 8.0 can be found at http://www.zonealarm.com/zaiss.

"Today, hackers and online criminals are utilizing a multitude of new, less traditional attack vectors to infiltrate PCs and steal personal information, giving way to a whole new breed of Internet threats," said Jon Crotty, security research analyst at IDC. "For Internet security protection to be effective, it must be able to proactively protect against this new breed of threats, while still maintaining an optimal level of usability so consumers can easily install it and keep it up-to-date."

"Because criminals are becoming more sophisticated and rendering traditional security obsolete, we focused on digging more deeply and broadly to stop attacks that by-pass other security products," said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager for Check Point’s ZoneAlarm consumer division. "We also paid close attention to the full lifecycle of PCs and of malware, making sure users are protected during the early stages or start-up, where other security software typically can fall short. In addition, we put a great deal of emphasis on providing users with much more in-depth protection against identity theft than any other Internet security product."

Continued Yecies, "ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 8.0 is the safest, fastest and easiest product on the market today, and provides users with the essential multi-layered protection they need to keep their PCs safe."
