Question : Should I upgrade to ZoneAlarm Extreme to protect against Gumblar?

I have ZoneAlarm Suite and just received and ad from them saying in order to protect my computers from Gumblar I should update to Extreme.  Is this real or just a marketing ploy.  I run Vista home on my desktop and XP pro on my laptop.

Answer : Should I upgrade to ZoneAlarm Extreme to protect against Gumblar?

Gumblar is not a worm or self aware propagating attack, there is no one set of tools that will guarantee to protect you 100% from such attack

The best method to protect yourelf is through security awareness:-

- Run an and always updated antivirus ,antispyware & firewall

- make sure your operating system, browser as well as third party applications (Adobe acrobat, Flash,Office programs,etc..) are most updated .

- Make sure security settings for internet zone in your browser are set to High.
