A new offer from Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ:INTX), the leading provider

"The nature of threats is constantly changing.
Our monitoring services keep tabs on your credit bureau file and public
record data, as well as a number of other data sources, but they can’t
prevent viruses and ’malware‘
from stealing personal data on your PC and using it to commit identity
theft in your good name,” said Michael
Stanfield, CEO of Intersections Inc. "This
offer reflects the reality that fraud can start right from your PC. This
is something proactive you can do to save yourself from the serious life
disruptions identity theft may create.” "The most effective way to protect your
personal information and your identity is to employ multiple layers of
defense on and off of your PC,” said Laura
Yecies, vice president and general manager of Check Point’s
ZoneAlarm consumer division. "ZoneAlarm
Internet Security Suite provides comprehensive protection to secure the
multitude of attack vectors that hackers and identity thieves use to
steal private data.”
