| Zero-Knowledge Systems, which developed a lot of street credibility in privacy expert circles for its Freedom network -- a service which
offered anonymous Web browsing and private encrypted e-mail -- said Friday that it will discontinue that service on Oct. 22.

At the same time, the company unveiled Freedom Privacy & Security Tools 3.0, a software package for online security and online
privacy protection that includes a personal firewall and a suite of applications including form filler/password manager, ad manager,
cookie manager and keyword alert.
"We have decided to focus our main development efforts on this product as well as other software solutions providing online
security," said Zero-Knowledge Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Hamnet Hill in a letter to Freedom Premium Services customers.

"This decision was not taken lightly," Hill said. "It reflects the ongoing high cost and limited returns of operating the Freedom
Network -- the engine that drives the encryption and anonymity process. This is especially true since our customers and partners
increasingly choose to purchase ready-to-use solutions that provide security and safety online -- such as personal firewall,
password manager and keyword alert -- rather than nym-based services."
The company will partially shut down the Freedom Network on Oct. 11, taking the majority of Freedom servers offline. Freedom nym
mailboxes will also stop accepting incoming mail as of Oct. 11. Customers will still be able to retrieve mail from their mailboxes,
send mail and browse the Web anonymously until Oct. 22. On Oct. 22, the network will be completely shut down.
