CastleCops® - Eliminate Security Threats While Web Browsing

cedric writes "BOSTON - July 8, 2003 - Browser security threats continue to plague end-users who are without protection while browsing the Internet. To eliminate browser security threats, Winferno Software, a developer of web browser security software, today announced Secure IE 2003TM. The new software version provides additional web browsing security features as well as productivity tools for home users and businesses to enhance their browsing experience. Many users assume that if they use anti-virus software, they are protected from malicious sites. Anti-virus software protects users from incoming e-mail and attachments, but not from malicious sites.

For 'broad spectrum' protection, the two types of programs are complementary and work in conjunction with each other.

When browsing a site, an ActiveX or JavaScript program can be installed surreptitiously on a user’s computer for benign or malicious purposes. Uses range from popups and cookies to keystroke loggers that can detect and transmit user passwords and credit card numbers, as well as 900 number dialers that can automatically ring up charges on users’ phone bills.

New Secure IE 2003 features, like the Internet Security Advisor, give users the ability to safely and easily surf the web without the need to regularly fiddle with security settings on their computer. While the Automatic Security Tune-Up automatically sets levels for different security zones, other new features add protection against potentially dangerous or malicious programs. These features include automatic cookie authentication for downloading files; upgraded automatic detection of viruses and configuration with popular virus scanning software; and smarter handling of JavaScript-based, browser window sizing. Users have the ability to block or accept popups, ActiveX and JavaScript programs with the click of a single button on the toolbar.

“Running my own PC shop, I have access to a number of software programs, which I use and recommend to my customers. Since the first time I installed Secure IE, I’ve been very impressed by the number of features and I use it as my default browser,” said Margo Davis, owner of Combined Computer Services. “I find the mix of security and productivity features a great benefit especially when I only have to install one program and can take advantage of a number of useful features.”

Secure IE 2003 will be available on July 21, 2003 at http://www.secureie.com or McAfee’s website. Its retail price is $39.95. Current users may upgrade at half- price. Winferno software comes with a 30-day, 100% money back guarantee. A free 15-day trial is available.
