Computer users have a new shield against attacks on personal data. Trustware™, a leader in security technologies that virtualize and protect a PC, today unveiled BufferZone Pro™ 3.20. The new release is Trustware’s most powerful security software application yet.

BufferZone Pro creates a separate – or virtual – environment that isolates security threats and prevents them from ever touching the user’s hard drive. Trustware’s threat virtualization software lets users safely download, install and operate any application without fear of malicious or unidentified attacks by Trojan horses, worms, keyloggers, spyware, Adware, phishing attempts or other computer-clogging malware. Now available at www.trustware.com, BufferZone Pro 3.20 boasts several new features, including:

• Full support for Microsoft Windows Vista
• Faster PC performance while running BufferZone Pro 3.20
• Improved stability and compatibility with popular antivirus software programs
• Enhanced language support, including for French and Italian speakers

How Does It Work?

Even the most potent antivirus software leaves PCs vulnerable to fast-changing, malicious programs that attack before virus definitions kick in. User-friendly BufferZone Pro 3.20 creates a separate environment that prevents malware from getting in. This is an impenetrable barrier that isolates all Internet activity like Web browsing, instant messaging, e-banking and peer-to-peer downloads from the actual underlying PC’s operating system.

Says Trustware CEO Jim Penosky, “Think of BufferZone Pro 3.20 as a simple way to dummy-proof or kid-proof your PC. No matter how carelessly you, your children or your employees surf the Web, there is nothing that can hack or slow down your computer with unwanted spyware or malware. BufferZone gives users the peace of mind that comes with safe surfing and knowing that no hidden threats are lurking on their PC.”

BufferZone Pro 3.20’s “set and forget” approach provides constant, always-on protection. “BufferZone Pro is an easy way to protect any PC,” says Penosky. It is also fully compatible with the user’s existing security suite, including desktop firewalls and popular anti-virus solutions.

Why Antivirus Software Is NOT Enough

Dozens of viruses attack each day, requiring constant – and reactive – software definition updates that come after malware and viruses hit PCs. By the time users notice slower performance and odd-looking programs, it is too late. BufferZone Pro 3.20 creates a protection zone that lets the user download anything while keeping the computer running more smoothly and securing sensitive files.

“There’s a terrible reality with which enterprises and consumers are coming to grips: Traditional security software faces an almost impossible task of protecting against every virus, Trojan horse or attempt at identity theft,” says Chris Christensen, program vice president, security products and services, at IDC. “The better approach is a protective layer that complements existing anti-virus solutions and that never allows those threats to enter the PC environment in the first place.”
