'Guard' for Internet Explorer

A newly established security firm has just introduced an effective protection tool for Internet Explorer browser against attacks.

Today, GreenBorder Technologies will launch a client security tool that allows Internet Explorer browser to be placed in a "security box". Called GreenBorder Pro, the product uses virtualization technology similar to those used by security vendors. In this virtual environment, malware can be executed but cannot affect the user's system.

" We provide a safer environment for IE ," said Jim Fulton, GreenBorder's vice president for product promotion. " You can access any web page, even a web page filled with browser security exploits, full of dangerous software, GreenBorder will still help isolate them from the system. your system . "

Microsoft's IE browser is a very popular web browser. About 10 in 10 people use Internet Explorer. However, security experts do not like this browser because it has too many security holes. IE is the target of many attacks. Some users had to switch to Firefox and Opera for their own safety reasons.

GreenBorder saw an opportunity in making IE safer. Its security tool is designed to protect users from Internet threats such as trojans or malware.

If people use GreenBorder's tool to access a site that has a lot of malware, those software still perform its job properly but cannot do anything to affect the user's system. use. Any changes made by those malware will be removed completely when the user uses the "Clean and Reset GreenBorder" feature of the software.

However, GreenBorder is not a solution against all online attacks. The software only helps the system against malicious software such as keyloggers or Trojans . cannot resist attacks through links that exploit the commonly used security flaws today. These are attacks using "social engineering" techniques to trick users into accessing a website that downloads malware. Even if you have the GreenBorder tool installed, users can still install malware of this type.

So users still have to be very careful whether they have been protected by GreenBorder.

GreenBorder products also do not protect users from online phishing attacks. But the product also protects users from most current real threats.

Users can access the GreenBorder Technologies website for more information and to download the software.
