Protection from Zero Day Threats*

A zero day is an attack that takes advantage of security holes for which no solution is yet available. This could be any kind of malicious software (malware) that loads itself onto your computer through hidden code on a website that exploits security vulnerabilities in your browser or browser plug-ins. Zero-day threats are typically still unknown and therefore even antivirus and antispyware scans cannot yet detect them. This is why the ZoneAlarm browser security virtualization technology is particularly important. It can shield you from such surprise attacks because it does not need to know the threat in order to stop it. Instead, it automatically catches and deletes stealth Web browser downloads in a safe, virtual data space that acts as your computer’s stunt double.
