Publisher's description of BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing
BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing lets you share and run files of any type using your favorite P2P software with complete safety. BufferZone Security for P2P is a solution that fully protects your PC against viruses, spyware and other threats by means of virtualization, while sharing programs and downloading music, video clips, or any other file with your favorite P2P application.
BufferZone's virtualization technology creates an isolated zone on your PC, which separates your operating system and confidential data from unknown files and programs. Unlike anti-virus and anti-spyware software, BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing requires no signature updates at all, while protecting you--even against new and yet unknown threats downloaded via P2P. BufferZone "automagically" protects you against vulnerabilities from your favorite P2P software.
Version 2.10-37 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing 2.10-37
"Finally, Someone Has Eliminated The Execution Of Malicious Code!"
Pros: In the review I wrote on Spyware Blaster 3.5.1, I told everyone the spyware removal industry would be revolutionized once the the execution of malicious code was contained! My Prediction was correct! This software is doing that at this very moment. For no better way to explain the concept of this software, I highly suggest everyone reading this review visits trustware.com to gain a better understanding of just how this software works!
It's a revolutionary concept to say the least! In brief, Trustware
creates another computer inside your computer! Anything you download, or any exe. file can be run from the "Buffer Zone" inside the user interface of the program.
This allows you time to ascertain if what files you are toying with are safe for your computer!
In other words, you can leave any new downloads, files in any office suite formats, or P2P sharing in the "Buffer Zone" until you can verify your machines safety.
Grace periods: now you have a place to store much needed work while you are waiting for all your weekly protection software to update!
Furthermore, it puts your actual Internet browsers - which ever that may be into the shielded "Buffer Zone," which gives you another line of added protection that is a real-time scenario. So, for those of you who refuse to give up the dying parasite called Internet Explorer - downloading this should be of high priority to you too! Trustware only supports I.E & Firefox, however, I have ran Buffer Zone on both Firefox & Opera 9 with flawless results!
Those of you who follow my reviews know that I strongly believe security is of the utmost importance.
GET ON BOARD WITH THIS SOFTWARE COMPANY WHILE THE PROGRAM IS STILL FREE! IT WILL NOT STAY THAT WAY LONG!
Cons: BEWARE OF ONE THING!
Trustware makes a bold statement, "The software will never need to be updated!"
I can not put 100% faith in that statement - the program is still in its infancy, so updates are highly probable!
As I mentioned in another of my reviews recently: any protection software can be VIOLATED! There will have to be updates one day.
For the whole however, this is a good tool to become familiar with and add to your arsenal of present protection software!

Version: BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing 2.10-37
Pros: The idea is what I like most about this program; clearly, it was time for someone to develop a product like BufferZone. The download and installation was flawless, and the ease of placing programs in the buffered zone is beyond reproach. However... read the Cons of this program.
Cons: I absolutely hate it when a program attempts to prevent itself - intentionally or not - from being un-installed; BufferZone did not make its de-installation, easy. Also, I did not like the limited use of the FREE program. Nearly 4/5's of the features have been deactivated. The worse part of this program was how it affected my other software programs. First, I noticed that Firefox would not load images on a website. Then, when I tried to run Limewire, it would not load and, in fact, instructed me to re-install it. Then, there was the PC performance issue; my computer started acting as though it had a virus or something; downloading image-less websites took several seconds, and MS Office literally took minutes to load. I finally gave BufferZone the boot when my treasured family photos disappeared from my pictures folder. To top this all off, after I un-installed BufferZone, all of the files that I had downloaded via Limewire BEFORE I had installed BufferZone, were gone. This program is a great idea, but it definitely needs some work.

Version: BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing 2.10-37
Pros: Awesome idea, great interface...
Cons: my internet wouldnt connect after installing this program. Tried everything i could to try to restore the connection...in the 15 minutes that this program was on my computer i got 3 blue screens, prompting me that there had been a critical system error. I recently installed a fresh copy of xp so there would be no other underlying cause for this. Also the program is impossible to uninstall in regular windows mode. I use youruninstaller 2006. I was forced to boot into safe mode, uninstall, reboot, and everything was in top form again. This program obviously has some bugs but if fixed i would love to give it a try
