RED BANK, New Jersey, SAN MATEO, California – November 24, 2009 -- Privacyware (http://www.privacyware.com) and White Sky, Inc. (http://www.idvault.com) today announced the details of a software distribution partnership that will bundle Privacyware’s award-winning free Personal Firewall and Host Intrusion Prevention Software (HIPS), Privatefirewall, with White Sky’s innovative online account and identity theft protection solution, ID Vault. With Privatefirewall and ID Vault, consumers can shop, bank and entertain online during the holidays and beyond assured of the safety of their systems, personal information and identities.

“People are often hesitant to shop online due to the risk to personal information and fear of identity theft,” said Privacyware Chief Executive Officer, Greg Salvato. “The dual protection of Privatefirewall and ID Vault Free Edition enables consumers to relax and enjoy the convenience of Web commerce without the worry of distressing online threats.”

Privatefirewall is a personal firewall and desktop HIPS solution that provides an easy to use, yet powerful layer of additional protection to the Microsoft® Windows 7, Vista and XP Pro operating systems. ID Vault is the first Internet security software that prevents online identity theft and fraud with enterprise-level two-factor authentication in an easy-to-use consumer solution.

“Privatefirewall is a best-in-class PC security solution that delivers exceptional protection from hackers and malware,” said David Watkins, chief executive officer of White Sky. “However, identity threats that aren’t covered by standard anti-virus and security suites are increasing exponentially, necessitating the added protection of ID Vault in order for users to be protected when they bank, invest and shop online – an especially relevant issue at this time of year.”
