Easy-To-Use Freedom 2.0 Inte rnet Privacy Suite: The Most Comprehensive Internet Privacy And Security Tool Available Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 11:32:47 -0500 Sender: owner-pressrelease(a)zeroknowledge.com Reply-To: pressrelease(a)zeroknowledge.com ====================================================================== The Zero-Knowledge Systems Press Release http://www.zeroknowledge.com ====================================================================== FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ZERO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS UNVEILS FREE, EASY-TO-USE FREEDOM 2.0 INTERNET PRIVACY SUITE: THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INTERNET PRIVACY AND SECURITY TOOL AVAILABLE --Freedom 2.0 gives consumers free access to the most easy- to-use privacy and security features, including a personal firewall, form filler, cookie manager, ad manager and keyword alert-- Montreal - December 12, 2000 - Zero-Knowledge(R) Systems Inc., the leading developer of privacy solutions for consumers and business, today unveiled the next generation version of its award-winning Freedom(R) Internet Privacy Suite. Freedom 2.0 now offers five standard privacy and security features as a free download in addition to enhanced paid premium services of untraceable private email and anonymous private browsing and chat. "The Freedom 2.0 Internet Privacy Suite affirms Zero- Knowledge Systems' commitment to creating strong, transparent and easy-to-use solutions that protect individual privacy and security on the Internet," said Austin Hill, president of Zero-Knowledge Systems. "From its new free standard features to the unmatched privacy protection of its enhanced premium services, Freedom addresses every need of Internet users who want to protect themselves and control their personal information, security and privacy." Freedom 2.0 builds upon the first version's unmatched premium services by offering five essential privacy and security features as a free download and substantial enhancements to its paid premium services of untraceable encrypted email and anonymous private browsing and chat. Users who upgrade to the premium services gain access to the global Freedom Network of servers and create untraceable pseudonyms or "nyms." The nyms allow customers to select different digital identities for their online activities. All nym traffic is encrypted and routed through the Freedom Network, ensuring complete privacy for browsing, chat, email and Telnet. Freedom's already intuitive ease-of-use and striking appearance have also been improved with this version's completely redesigned user interface. Freedom 2.0 Internet Privacy Suite Free Standard Features * Personal Firewall - Protect against malicious hackers Freedom's personal firewall controls both incoming and outgoing Internet connections and alerts users of any unauthorized attempts to connect to their computer by malicious hackers or outside entities. This feature is critical for consumers with an "always-on" DSL or cable modem connection. * Form Filler - Speed up and secure online registrations and transactions Freedom automatically fills out forms and remembers passwords, making online registrations and purchases a snap. Users can either use information from their true identity, create a pseudonymous identity or have the Form Filler generate random information. Unlike other products that require users to store their personal information on a company server, Freedom's Form Filler encrypts and stores sensitive information on the user's computer, where only they have access to it. * Cookie Manager - Prevent websites from tracking activities Freedom lets Internet users take advantage of the cookies they want while blocking or deleting the ones they don't. Unlike other stand-alone or browser based solutions that lump cookies together, Freedom's Cookie Manager sorts cookies into individual "Cookie Jars." This allows users to manage each online identity separately, and control how much information websites record about browsing habits. * Ad Manager - Control ads and speed up browsing Freedom's Ad Manager speeds up the Web browsing experience by getting desired information to the user faster, while removing the clutter of unwanted ads. It also prevents activity-tracking cookies and "Web bugs" from being dropped onto their computer. * Keyword Alert - Prevent personal information from leaving the computer Freedom's Keyword Alert instantly scans all outgoing communications and warns users before sending sensitive or identifying information. For example, parents can set Freedom to scan for the real name or telephone number of their children and Freedom will show an alert before releasing that information. Freedom 2.0 Internet Privacy Suite Premium Services * Untraceable Encrypted Email - Secure and privatize email Freedom lets Internet users send and receive encrypted email from existing email applications to ensure that no one, including their ISP, can open or read it. The true identity of Freedom users is protected since no one can associate the user with their nym's address. Freedom also blocks unsolicited bulk email (spam) from reaching their inbox. * Anonymous Browsing & Chat - Go online undetected Freedom lets users enjoy untraceable access to the Internet by way of private routes through the Freedom Network. These private access routes prevent anyone from tracing a user's online activities or from determining their physical location, guaranteeing a completely private Web browsing, Telnet and chat room experience. Zero-Knowledge's commitment to releasing the source code to the Freedom system has set the standard for consumer privacy products by allowing anyone to verify how the system performs. This assures Freedom provides the promised protection. As the recognized privacy leader, Zero- Knowledge is fulfilling its commitment to deploy consumer products that are open and transparent. Among other accolades, Freedom 1.0 was named 2000's "Most Promising Internet Newcomer" by PC World, was called "the Rolls-Royce of privacy software" by Yahoo! Internet Life and received a 5/5 editor's rating from PC Magazine. ZDNet also gave Zero-Knowledge's Customer Support group a 10/10 rating for technical support. Availability and Pricing Freedom for Windows 95/98, 2000, Me and Linux is available as a free download at http://www.freedom.net. Premium services can be purchased for US $49.95 per year. A Macintosh version of Freedom is expected in 2001. About Zero-Knowledge Systems, Inc. Zero-Knowledge Systems (http://www.zeroknowledge.com) is the leading provider of privacy enabling technologies and services for both consumers and enterprise. Zero-Knowledge Managed Privacy Services (http://www.zeroknowledge.com/business) provides expert consultation and privacy-enhancing solutions that enable businesses to comply with privacy legislation, maximize customer relationships and build consumer trust without violating privacy.

This allows users to manage each online identity separately, and control how much information websites record about browsing habits. * Ad Manager - Control ads and speed up browsing Freedom's Ad Manager speeds up the Web browsing experience by getting desired information to the user faster, while removing the clutter of unwanted ads. It also prevents activity-tracking cookies and "Web bugs" from being dropped onto their computer. * Keyword Alert - Prevent personal information from leaving the computer Freedom's Keyword Alert instantly scans all outgoing communications and warns users before sending sensitive or identifying information. For example, parents can set Freedom to scan for the real name or telephone number of their children and Freedom will show an alert before releasing that information. Freedom 2.0 Internet Privacy Suite Premium Services * Untraceable Encrypted Email - Secure and privatize email Freedom lets Internet users send and receive encrypted email from existing email applications to ensure that no one, including their ISP, can open or read it. The true identity of Freedom users is protected since no one can associate the user with their nym's address. Freedom also blocks unsolicited bulk email (spam) from reaching their inbox. * Anonymous Browsing & Chat - Go online undetected Freedom lets users enjoy untraceable access to the Internet by way of private routes through the Freedom Network. These private access routes prevent anyone from tracing a user's online activities or from determining their physical location, guaranteeing a completely private Web browsing, Telnet and chat room experience. Zero-Knowledge's commitment to releasing the source code to the Freedom system has set the standard for consumer privacy products by allowing anyone to verify how the system performs. This assures Freedom provides the promised protection. As the recognized privacy leader, Zero- Knowledge is fulfilling its commitment to deploy consumer products that are open and transparent. Among other accolades, Freedom 1.0 was named 2000's "Most Promising Internet Newcomer" by PC World, was called "the Rolls-Royce of privacy software" by Yahoo!
