Veterans of antispyware specialist PestPatrol have developed a new tool that throws up roadblocks for so-called drive-by installs of malicious code onto vulnerable PCs. ...

...A trial, or beta, version of SocketShield for Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 is available at no cost. Exploit Prevention Labs plans to launch a first official version of the tool in early June. That version will cost $29.95 per year
