Core Force News
« on: October 27, 2006, 02:15:42 AM »

CORE FORCE is the first community oriented security solution for personal computers. CORE FORCE is free and provides a comprehensive endpoint security solution for Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems.

The security framework provided by CORE FORCE is leveraged by a community of security experts that share their security configurations for a growing list of programs. These security profiles can be downloaded by any user of CORE FORCE from the community Web site and they're also completely open so that they can be peer-reviewed to minimize security hazards. The community approach to endpoint security also allows end-users who are not security experts to work in a secure environment.

CORE FORCE can be used to:
  • Protect your computer from compromises by worms, virus and email-borne malware
  • Prevent your computer from being used as a staging point to amplify attacks and compromise others
  • Prevent exploitation of known bugs in the operating system and applications running on your computer
  • Prevent exploitation of unknown bugs (0-day) in the operating system and applications running on your computer
  • Detect and prevent execution of adware, spyware, trojan horses and other malware on you computer

CORE FORCE R0.95 Released

CORE FORCE R0.95 provides new features and updates based on user feedback. Programs can now be moved across security profiles while they run. Two new default security profiles have been added to run trusted and untrusted programs in generic sandboxes.

This new release of CORE FORCE includes the following new features:
  • New security profiles for Trusted Programs and Untrusted Programs.
  • Support to change the security profile for programs while they are running.

New Run with security profile command to launch a program in a specific security sandbox.
  • Alert notifications have been overhauled to provide more accurate information and options to the user (more information here).
These new features have been designed to work together in common scenarios:
  • If you want to install a new program and avoid restrictions for the installer, you can launch it in the new Trusted Programs sandbox (or move it to that security profile when it's running).
  • If you download a suspicious program from the web and want to check it out, you can run it in the Untrusted Programs sandbox where it won't be able to write or delete stuff in your computer and communicate with remote computers without your knowledge.
