Developer: Agnitum Ltd.
Version: 7.0
Developer's Introduction:
Outpost Firewall Pro - world's foremost protection application, providing a superior arsenal of defense against PC infiltration. Outpost offers Security, Control, Privacy and Ease of Use.
Outpost Firewall starts protecting as soon as it is installed. The program detects and blocks hacker attacks, guards the privacy of data stored on your computer, monitors network activity of your system and applications, provides secure web surfing, and prevents Internet worms from activating from your inbox. Outpost can place your computer into stealth mode, making it invisible to hackers.
In addition, the program can remove annoying pop-ups and ads and increase connection times. To ensure your protection against new threats, Outpost updates information frequently through a custom utility.
It runs under Windows 98, 98SE, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 systems on any Internet connection.
- System and Application Guard lets you protect your operating system and applications against web threats and hacker attacks.
- File and Folder Lock keeps sensitive information safe from prying eyes.
- The program activity tracker lets you review system modifications in real time so you know when an application is misbehaving.
- Web Control ensures you don’t accidentally visit poisoned or phishing websites, limiting your exposure to potential identity theft and web-based exploits.
- The robust two-way firewall to prevent unauthorized internal or external access and block malware from phoning home with your personal information.
- The firewall also ensures that your wired and wireless networks are secured against eavesdropping and internal breaches – great for home offices.
- The host protection monitors how programs interact to provide additional safeguards against data leaks and has passed all popular third-party leak tests with flying colors.
New in version 7, you can also define a list of items to be specifically defended against inappropriate access or hijacking – this is particularly relevant for web apps and configuration settings. Web Control ensures you don’t accidentally visit poisoned or phishing websites, limiting your exposure to potential identity theft and web-based exploits. Outpost keeps all of its critical files in a digital sandbox to prevent malware from targeting and terminating its protection. But all of this power is surprisingly light on system resource usage; in particular the new data filtering optimization enables the firewall to process information faster and more efficiently.
Above all, Outpost Firewall Pro is easy to use, yet highly configurable, to appeal to beginners and experts alike. And the continuously-expanding ImproveNet database automatically ensures new application security configurations are available as soon as they’ve passed compatibility testing.
