* Secure IE: Browse Safer and Faster *
Stop Hackers in Their Tracks! Today, spyware and hacker attacks are as
common as viruses and are causing severe damage to consumers. Once on
your machine these intruders can gain access to your personal data,
such as your credit card information, passwords and financial
information. Secure IE protects your computer at the main point of
external contact--your Web browser--and tightly restricts what Web
sites can and cannot do to you. It stops spyware at the point of
entry, blocks hackers from entering your PC and seals potential
security leaks.
