Cocoon Launches as a New Antivirus Internet BrowserToday Virtual World Computing unveiled the first consumer antivirus browser, delivering complete endpoint security for personal computers. Complementing existing antivirus software, Cocoon provides an added security barrier to Internet intrusions by keeping viruses, malware, ransom-ware and Internet attacks from penetrating a PC hard drive. "Antivirus software is no longer enough for the average consumer. There maybe as many as 100,000 new malicious malware created every day. What happens if a computer gets hit before the malware is identified? There's no reason to let it get to your computer in the first place," said Jeff Bermant, CEO and Co-Founder. "We developed the Cocoon browser to create an added barrier to the Internet, keeping everything from cookies, downloads and possible infections off of the computer." Cocoon acts as a virtual firewall to prevent the harms of the Internet from directly touching your machine. The software offers multiple levels of antivirus protection using the latest endpoint isolation technology to stop viruses from ever touching your hard drive, even from drive-by downloads. For example, Web-based email providers like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! don't offer true protection from malware and viruses. That's because downloaded attachments can still infect your machine. Cocoon scans every downloaded file before it reaches your desktop or laptop, providing true attachment protection - even from your favorite inbox provider. In addition to the enhanced antivirus protection, Cocoon offers:
Cocoon is available for a free 30-day trial, and unlike expensive antivirus software that can cost upwards of $50 a year, provides continued protection for only $9.99.
