around the world. While antivirus providers do an
excellent job of posting new definition files to pro-
tect against these threats, they do so after the fact.
Previously no solution existed to protect users dur-
ing the crucial time at the very beginning of a new
outbreak when a threat is first released. Antivirus
companies scramble to develop, test and post the
new virus
definition file, but there is always a lag time and
vulnerability for unprotected computers. This gap in
time is precisely when your system is most vulner-
able, and the reason viruses spread.
RedWall offers you immediate zero-day protection
to defend your valuable data even when your anti-
virus cannot. RedWall acts as a 'firewall' between
you and file based threats. Its patent-pending tech-
nology protects your system at the file level, giving
you an instant real-time defense against viruses,
worms, buffer overruns and other malicious pro-
grams. RedWall is intended to help you fend off at-
tacks from dangerous files sent to you anony-
mously or via a spoofed sender address (an ad-
dress which looks like someone you know and
trust). In the latest attacks, it has become almost
impossible for users to establish the legitimacy of a
message or its sender. New threats are being car-
ried by PDF files, MP3s, ZIPs and now even with
JPEGs in the form of buffer overruns that execute
malicious code.
RedWall enables you to quickly and securely pre-
view the contents of any file and attachment. If the
file is legitimate, it may be opened and edited as
usual. If, however, RedWall detects suspicious be-
havior in the file, you will be alerted so that you can
then safely delete the file, having averted any
threat.

Norcent Technology
Susan van Barneveld represented Norcent with
some of their many Plasma and LCD televisions
and home theater systems.
Norcent’s line of LCD monitors is truly outstanding.
This is one time when the old adage of you have to
see it to believe it is true. I don’t think I’ve ever
seen a better picture anywhere.
The Norcent DP-220 DVD player also looked very
interesting. The DP-220 is a full-featured DVD
player with the added flexibility of playing near-
DVD quality DivX movies downloaded from the
Internet. We’ve requested a review unit and look
forward to doing a full report.
