FYI: ZoneAlarm

Posted by: BJAXSON <BJAXSON@...>

Greetings,
I ran across this on the tech page of my newspaper:

ZoneAlarm 2.1.25 -- Free, ZoneLabs. Normally, a minor upgrade to ZoneAlarm --
the full-featured, free personal firewall -- would not merit a full review
here in Bulletin Board, but this release has something worth mentioning.
ZoneLabs has added a feature that detects the kind of actions unleashed by
viruses like VBS.LoveLetter.A, the nasty "love bug" that swept across the Net
earlier this month. ZoneAlarm 2.1.25 can track when Microsoft's Visual Basic
Script is being invoked and warn you. This makes it an effective deterrent
against all VBS-based viruses, even if they have a different name or slightly
different tactics. Get it at http://www.zonelabs.com.
