Zone Labs on Wednesday introduced ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware, a new standalone tool designed to protect PCs against spyware. Zone Labs, which is part of Check Point Software, already offered spyware protection in its ZoneAlarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite products.
ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware doesn't just offer scanning and removal capabilities, but is designed to prevent malicious software from installing itself on a PC, Zone Labs said in a statement. The software protects against spyware, Trojans, keyloggers and rootkits, Zone Labs said. ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is available in six languages and priced at $29.95. Competing products are offered by a slew of vendors, including Tenebril, Webroot, Sunbelt Software, Computer Associates and Microsoft.
...because microsoft for one does not offer a "competing product" at this time - their product is in beta and the use of it can void computer owners' warrantees with their OEM's. I believe that CNET should know better than to print something that could cause unwary computer owners financial harm. So far as the "ad" aspect, well yes, it's a product release announcement; we'd hope that CNET might refrain from such announcements til its editors have had a chance to independantly trial and review new product releases. Most of the people who've paid for Zone Labs new version 6.07 total internet security suite which includes the referenced indepedantly developed anti-spyware product have found it quite disappointing and would've preferred to see Zone Labs maintain their former strategic partnership with Computer Associates for anti-virus/spyware.

Why are they trying to make such a big deal of this? Very many Anti-Spyware solutions do this, and they had that capability for a while now. Real time protection is nothing new. __________________________________ R.K. <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.Remove-All-Spyware.com/" target="_newWindow">http://www.Remove-All-Spyware.com/</a>

the most recent review I have read, "weeding out spies" (6-19-05) gives a 50% blocking ability for three of those reviewed. Is there more current data published?

Zone Labs needs to come out and make a freeware version of this Spyware tool. I'd like to try it out to see if it's better than Ad-Aware or Spybot but ain't going to put down $30 for it.
