Well first of all, 100% seems like reminiscent of the Bulldog BullGaurd
stuff of a few years ago. People should know better.

Second of all, they step back from the edge here by saying

http://203.197.88.14/efc/efc_intro.php
"Please note that we do not claim that right from version 1 EFC will provide
100% security (although it can) against all kind of attacks. Future releases
will achieve higher level of security leading to unbreakable system"

Regardless if this small hidden disclaimer, they are claiming 100% on all of
lists. I am not saying either way with it right now without bashing it a
bit, but anything new is worth evaluating. I am surprised moderators let
this on bugtraq... or am I? =)

Another informational site on this is here: http://trustedmachines.com/ My
guess is that the 203.197.x.x site is just for attacking, but still I don't
know why it was designed looking like MSpaint + notepad + 15 year old in
typing class. (For all you 15 year olds in typing class with dreamweaver,
shhh you will kill my thunder.)

arrogant, and I can't wait till he has to eat his words. The website is a
tad under the professional type websites I would take seriously, but I
thought this might spark a good discussion, and get us off that bl*st*r
w*rm.
