1 STARTER GUIDE Virtualized Browser Security Surf Safely & Privately

2 The Internet. It is one bad neighborhood. But ZoneAlarm ForceField has got your back. Take a wrong turn at the offramp? Meet a few of the bad guys. Drive-by downloads Just visit the wrong site, and spyware will automatically and silently download to your PC. These go to 11 on the scary meter popular sites such as Monster and nfl.com have been mugged by these thugs. ForceField eats drive-bys for breakfast (yummy!) with its unique virtualization technology. Drive-bys never encounter your real PC.. Go Phish These bad boys impersonate banking and shopping sites, capturing your username, password and credit card number when you type them in. And talk about popular! 1 in 3 people will hit a phishing site this year. ForceField has been called out as the best anti-phishing software available. Keyloggers These jerks sit silently on your computer and record everything you type. Trendy? Oh yeah. 1 in 4 of us have one. There are more bad guys where these came from And, yeah. ForceField has their number, too. ForceField jams these like bagels in a toaster. (Thick bagels, little toaster).

3 Installation ForceField Installation (Piece of cake) Next > Follow the bouncing ball. Well, the square boxes. A few clicks on Next and you ll be done before you know it. Click the download button. You probably already knew this. The amazingly compact 4-meg application will be there in a Jiffy. Boot? You ll be asked to reboot your PC to finish the install. You can do it right away or later on; we re pretty open-minded.

4 Installation (cont d) Just looking? Or ready with cash? Chose Start my trial or Enter my License, depending. If trying, ForceField will start. If you already bought it, enter the license key you got via the web site and purchase confirmation. ForceField Set-up There is no step 1. ForceField comes pre-set. All security is on by default. We re cool like that. ForceField is a friend to your existing antivirus, antispyware and firewall. Not only does it protect you in ways the other guys can t, but it also keeps your PC a lot cleaner. Using ForceField = way better security. But we recommend you also run antivirus, anti-spyware and a firewall - any brand - though we think our own ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite is tops!

5 Using ForceField and Extra stuff Using ForceField Step 1. Open your Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. Learn More Site status. It can be green (all is okay) or yellow. You ll see the ForceField welcome screen pointing out the new ForceField toolbar that s been installed. Yellow. No downloads, no data entry. There is no step 2. ForceField is already working and blocking the bad guys for you, usually without interruption. But if you re ever about to endanger yourself, ForceField will shout out (you ll know it when you see it). It s okay to be on a yellow site because ForceField s virtualization is protecting you from drive-by downloads. But unless you trust the website, do not download files yourself. And don t enter sensitive data into the website. Why? Keep reading... There really isn t anything more you need to know. But we ve highlighted a few things if you re curious about what s coming.

6 Using ForceField and Extra stuff (cont d) Click to get the goods. So why is one site rated green while another is yellow? Just click Site Status to find out. Among the reasons a site could be rated suspicious: The site is brand new, or it s hosted in an unusual location. Danger! If you ever go to a site that s known to cause trouble (such as phishing sites or spyware distribution sites), ForceField will give you a polite tap on the shoulder. Keep your surfing private. Just click Private Browser. A special browser will open in which you can surf privately. Anyone who uses the computer after you will have no idea where you ve been as if you never surfed at all. ForceField works quietly. ForceField works hard to protect your computer, but it s mostly behind the scenes.
