I have not tried it, but free is always good

ZoneAlarm ForceField is a new security utility that promises bulletproof protection against browser-related threats. It normally sells for $29.95, but Check Point Software is offering it absolutely free, today only, as part of a Patch Tuesday promotion.

The software relies on a technique called "virtual browsing" to protect your PC against unauthorized downloads, malware installations, phishers, keyloggers, and the like. It also promises total privacy by erasing the (virtual) browser's cache, cookies, history, and passwords. According to Check Point, the program won't interfere with any existing security software you might already have.

ZoneAlarm by Check Point - Award winning PC Protection, Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Identity Protection, and much more.

Lol yeah. Free. For 1 year. And it is bloated as all get out.

I crack up laughing when I see this. Computer Associates pulled this same thing with their antivirus package in later 90's/early 2000. Now when you install any program from Computer Associates, they want your credit card number, so they can automatically charge you after a year to get updates, and the new version.

CA has really turned into a gravy train on biscuit wheels. Their products and even the sign up process is horrible these days.
