Malware. An odd sounding word created to lump all malicious application programs, including viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, adware, & other malevolent codes in to one cause-your-computer-serious-hurt section.

In 2005, Computer Economics released a document on malware. The nice news was that for the first time since 2002, the total worldwide financial losses from malware actually declined to a mere $14.2 billion.

The bad news was that the nature of malware was changing from overt threats to more focused, covert attacks. This definitely is not great news for the average computer user trying to keep up with the hundreds of malware programs that bombard us every day.

ZoneAlarm has received more review recommendations that any other Internet-security application suite because of its superb firewall & antivirus protection. It blocks pop-up ads, protects against identify theft & provides adequate spam filters that are flexible. It even beats the market leader, Norton Web Security, which is often criticized for excessive system drag.

It's not an easy task keeping malware out of your computer system. In order to accomplish this, you need a strong antivirus program. One such program that can deliver the goods is ZoneAlarm Web Security Suite 6 from Zone Labs. Zone Labs is one of the most trusted brands in Web Security for nice reason. Their product, basically put, kicks serious malware gluteus maximus.

• Triple Defense Firewall to prevent spyware from sending your information across the Web. It also makes your computer invisible to someone on the Net.
• Smart Defense Advisor which can automatically adjust your security settings for maximum protection against the latest virus & spyware outbreaks.
• Advanced Identify & Privacy Protection to prevent your personal information from leaving your computer without your approval.

Its newest version includes these additional features:

Overall, ZoneAlarm Web Security Suite is a user-friendly, comprehensive security solution that will have your computer safe from Web hazards & cyber criminals within minutes of installation.


The bonus for the average user who cringes at the idea of setting-up one of these systems is that the interface is less hard to understand & use in comparison to most if its competitors. If you select to venture beyond the out-of-the-box default settings, & install a more elaborate filtering, know that this will need some additional time to set up on your part.

One of my Facebook friends posted this video of a digital native letting teachers know that in no uncertain terms that they MUST get on board with the interent & technology thing:




I sense that this kid's dad has a job in educational technology- this video might be his way of motivating teachers to get along with the digital natives they face every day in their classrooms.
