Protect your PC from unsavory Internet
activity with ZoneAlarm. This free, easy-to-use security utility sets up a
personal firewall that's particularly well suited to DSL and cable modem
users. A computer with such an always-on connection has a permanent IP
address, which makes it especially vulnerable to information theft and other
attacks. ZoneAlarm lets you select one of three (low, medium, high) security
levels to separately apply to local and Internet traffic. In addition, you
can designate which programs on your computer are allowed to access the
Internet. Each time a new application attempts to access the Internet,
ZoneAlarm alerts you and asks whether or not to allow this access. You can
answer in such a way that access is granted without intervention in the
future. Anytime an event occurs that ZoneAlarm blocks, you're notified
immediately with a pop-up window that details the offense. The program's
system tray icon provides a handy menu that enables you to disable all
Internet activity with a mouse click. You can also set this "lock
up" to activate automatically after a selected period of inactivity or
whenever your screen saver activates. System Requirements Purchase Information
CyberMedia, Inc. (now McAfee) Protect your data and privacy with Guard
Dog. By placing a variety of monitors and security measures at your
disposal, Guard Dog alerts you to and protects you from hidden and often
questionable Internet activities. It gives you absolute control over cookies
and personal information (password, contact, and credit card/bank
information) that's silently provided to Internet servers. If you like, you
can actually build lists of servers from which you will and won't accept
cookies. You can have Guard Dog alert you when unauthorized programs attempt
to access the Internet; automatically clean up your Internet cache and
history files each time you close your browser; and build lists of protected
files on your computer, selecting specific programs that are allowed to
access them. An unauthorized access attempt results in a warning that
provides you with the option of allowing or denying access by that
particular program. Other features include anti-virus protection, a
comprehensive virus encyclopedia, password protection, logging support, and
special support for monitoring suspicious ActiveX activity. Excellent
documentation is included. System Requirements Purchase Information

anything on either your entire PC or just selected drives/folders. A

users of your PC from accessing forbidden sites on the Internet. Block
specific URLs, ports, and Websites that contain keywords you select. eSafe
