Users of Internet Explorer vulnerable to Zero Day Exploit Virus
This virus causes IE to crash amongst other nasty little things

REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- ByteCrusher today confirmed the beta version of its innovative WindowZones security application protects Microsoft Internet Explorer users from harm as a result of a new zero day attack.

The new zero day attack was first identified in the wild on September 18th but has previously been in place for an unknown amount of time. Exploits of this recently discovered vulnerability in IE are being used to, among other things, install spyware onto the users' personal computers. Many IE users may have already been exposed unknowingly. It is important for users to understand that though such exploits are primarily being hosted by pornographic websites, they may propagate to mainstream websites at any time. Using WindowZones to run IE in the SafeZone will protect users at day zero and beyond.

WindowZones is a paradigm-shifting security application that dramatically reduces the infection opportunity from exploits such as this most recent IE critical flaw. WindowZones works in conjunction with anti-virus and anti- spyware defenses to protect computers. Because WindowZones works by proactively giving applications 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 zero-day attacks.

WindowZones is currently in beta and available for download from http://www.windowzones.com . The final release is expected in October 2006.
