New Version Provides Complete Spyware And Identity Theft Protection
WATSONVILLE, CA, June 9, 2004 - Aladdin Systems, Inc., an IMSI company (OTC BB: IMSI), today announced a new version of its popular software product Internet Cleanup(tm) for Windows. Internet Cleanup 4.0 (IC4), enhances and safeguards the user's Internet experience with new privacy tools that protect personal and confidential information, find and remove spyware, block ads and pop-ups, and provide complete cache cleaning.
"Internet Cleanup 4.0 offers the most powerful protection yet for users who want to protect their privacy and guard against spyware," said Pauline Shumake, Senior Product Manager of Aladdin Systems, Inc. "Spyware slows down your computer, invades your privacy and can reveal sensitive information. These new tools eradicate spyware and prevent sensitive information from leaving your computer."
IC 4 includes a Personal Information Blocker that safeguards names, phone numbers, addresses, credit card information and bank account numbers. IC 4 prevents these and other specified pieces of information from being transmitted over the Internet without users' permission. In addition, IC4 includes File and Folder locking as well as Application locking features. Only IC4 provides the user all of the tools necessary to protect their privacy, security and PC, all in one complete and integrated package.
Internet Cleanup 4.0 also contains the following array of features:
o NEW! COMPLETE SPYWARE PROTECTION- Internet Cleanup 4 now detects and can remove key loggers, which record keystrokes and can uncover user passwords, as well as a wide variety of Trojan horse programs. IC 4 protects against the newest spyware programs with routine updates to give users the latest security.
o NEW! NetBlockade(tm)- This new tool manages and blocks cookies, Web bugs, ad banners, and pop-ups. It includes a Trace utility that performs a "Who is"-type lookup so that users can find out who is trying to spy on them. NetBlockade is available for Internet Explorer, Netscape and Mozilla-based browsers.
o NEW! LOCKING MECHANISM PREVENTS SNOOPING- IC 4 has the ability to protect user-specified folders and files by locking them so other people cannot open them or view their contents. This capability offers users the assurance that their private information remains confidential.
o NEW! PREVENTS UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS- IC 4 now enables users to block applications on their computer from use by other people who gain access. This is extremely useful for computers that are shared. Now the user can password-protect any application they don't want being used. This is a great feature to prevent the kids from getting into financial applications.
o NEW! HELPS NETWORK ADMINISTRATORS - Now clean up files across networks. IT managers can run IC 4 on a networked PC to scan remote drives for temporary Internet files such as recently visited sites and other common files, enabling network administrators to protect the privacy of all PCs on the network.
o NEW! WORKS WITH MORE BROWSERS - IC 4 now supports the Netscape and Mozilla browsers, permitting users who don't run Microsoft Internet Explorer to still enjoy its benefits.
Internet Cleanup 4.0 protects users' privacy by erasing their Internet data trail and permanently removing tracking devices left on their computers by websites they have visited. Users can easily set their level of banner ad and pop-up blocking. Each time they start Internet Cleanup, the Statistics Report tells them exactly what spyware is present on their PC, the number of unwanted cookies and history files, their cache size, Active X controls, recent list entries, and more. Internet Cleanup effectively removes spyware and stops pop-up ads and web banners.
