Internet Security 2.0 | Maximum PC (archiving magazine articles)

Internet Security 2.0 | Maximum PC:

"We’ve had our share of “uh-oh” moments, when curiosity superseded our better judgment and we impulsively clicked a suspicious link or downloaded a suspect file. In most cases, those moments have been followed by a laborious malware disinfection, or if the damage was severe, a full-blown Windows reinstall. Trustware Security promises to make those situations a thing of the past. To prove it’s serious, the company will pay you $500 if BufferZone fails to keep your PC secure, with a few caveats (http://tinyurl.com/2nvc23). Normally, we’d worry that such lofty claims would result in a Chapter 11 filing, but despite our best efforts, we were unable to wreak irreversible havoc on our test systems and claim our bounty."
