When you start the program, all apps are placed in the 'Administrative Zone,' where programs have full access to all system files and resources. The interface that allows you to assign 'zones' to your programs is modern and sleek, with tabs on the left and an uncluttered layout in the central pane. WindowZones works by restricting an application's access to system files and settings via user account control, and it claims to inoculate for both known and unknown species of bugs out there: Internet Explorer security holes, identity-thieving hackers, rootkit installations, and the usual spyware and adware assaults. By focusing on prevention instead of detection, claims the publisher of WindowZones, the program offers a stronger line of defense against attacks. This security program promises an innovative approach to preventing malware infections on your PC, based on restricting application access to system files.
