WindowZones is a new security application that offers coverage from exploits of newly announced Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities. The program developed by ByteCrusher Labs, protects from malicious web sites and animated cursors, known as ANI files, that infect unsuspecting Internet users. Internet Surfers that visit an infected web site are can be attacked by hackers. Microsoft has deemed the severity of this vulnerability to be critical and users are at risk of remote code execution.

    Allen Nieman, Vice President for ByteCrusher Labs, stated: “This vulnerability was first brought to Microsoft’s attention on December 20th, 2006.“Malware exploiting this vulnerability began appearing profusely on March 28th, 2007, and Microsoft issues a patch on April 3rd. Any way you look at it, having alternative, non-signature-based security protection provides a protective layer for users when they need it most. WindowZones users running Internet Explorer in the Safe Zone are protected at day zero and beyond.”

    ByteCrusher Labs advidces us to keep the Windows installations up-to-date with the latest Microsoft patches, including the lately released out-of-cycle patch for this vulnerability. They independently verified that if IE is running in the Safe Zone an exploit of this vulnerability will fail when attempting to add an administrative user account to Windows when a user simply visits a malicious web page. Without WindowZones, IE can leave a user exposed to these types of attacks.

    The company develops innovative software products designed to protect the privacy and security of Windows computer users. ByteCrusher’s first product, WindowZones, provides immediate, zero-day protection to customers worldwide.
WindowZones functions proactively by giving programs only the rights they need to run. There are no delays in protection, and there are no signature updates required. Users get a first -- and last -- line of defense simply by using WindowZones, virtually eliminating the substantial harm of zero-day attacks.
With this program you get robust and flexible protection against malicious Internet content for all of your Internet applications, including web browsers, email clients, instant messaging applications, peer-to-peer download clients, and more. WindowZones works by restricting access to applications, working as a first line of defense against security threats. Because WindowZones works at the access level rather than the detection level, it does not require signature updates. Its protection is never out of date!

WindowZones provides defense against:

 - Hackers, Intruders, and Identity Thieves
 - Internet Explorer security vulnerabilities (known and unknown)
 - Rootkit Installations
 - Spyware, Viruses, and Adware Downloads
