Beta Test LockDown Millennium

As techniques used by hackers and malicious programs become more sophisticated, the danger persists that even the most careful user can become a victim. Aiming to ensure a secure computing environment, New Hampshire based LockDown Corporation is seeking 200 additional
beta testers to participate in the development of its LockDown Millennium and LockDown Millennium Pro Internet protection software. The beta is open to testers of all nationalities running either 9x or NT-based versions of Windows. Support for Windows XP is included in all of the featured products.

More suited toward home and small business users, LockDown Millennium
features enhanced trojan detection and removal functions. The premium LockDown Millennium Pro includes tools to monitor network conditions,
enforce policies on cookies and scripting, a Web monitor, and a utility to audit files.

A separate limited test is open exclusively to Saudi Arabian participants, who
are encouraged to test the company's proxy services. LockDown maintains compatibility with virtually all ISPs. New features include virtual
host names, and "Web Proxy" - a proxy server accessible through the company's Web site. Web Proxy also allows users to disable scripts, cookies, and banner ads.

According to LockDown representative Michael Paris, "Most of the larger S.A ISP's
have blocked many Anonymity Web pages and services," including the company's own service. He adds, "The reason for blocking these sites, is that these proxy services do not work with
their current proxy configuration, and only cause their support departments pain and headaches with their users. It is our plan, to work through this with beta testers to come up with a solution that
works for them."
