Being online is fraught with
dangers: Internet worms, spyware
agents, Trojan horses, hijackers
and more can wreak havoc,
causing anything from slow
performance to system crashes to
full-blown identity theft. And
to provide you with the kind of
protection you need in these
days of cyberthieves and online
extortionists, your firewall
must be able to monitor all
inbound and outbound traffic and
protect you from any
unauthorized intrusion by
rendering your PC invisible to
anything that you haven’t
authorized to see it.
Outpost Firewall PRO Benefits
-
NEW!
Protection from
spyware and identity theft
New anti-spyware
capabilities built into the
program protect your
computer against the rapidly
increasing threats from
spyware and ID theft.
Spyware cannot enter,
activate on, or transmit
information out of computers
protected by Outpost.
The ID Block feature lets
you determine which specific
items of personal
information, for example
bank account numbers, are
blocked from ever leaving
the computer. Even if you
choose to disable your
spyware protection during
PC-intensive tasks, you will
still be protected as all
new network connections are
proactively verified to be
spyware-free.
-
Know what's
happening on your PC at all
times
Outpost’s Network Activity
Monitor watches every
connection between your
computer and the Internet,
alerting you immediately to
any communications that may
be unauthorized so you can
take appropriate action.
-
Automatic,
intelligent protection
against hacker attacks
Outpost’s Attack Detection
automatically blocks network
probes, zombie attacks, and
other remote attempts to
access your PC, using its
continually-updated
intrusion definitions
database.
-
Control how applications
communicate
Outpost’s Component Control,
Hidden Process Control, and
Open Memory Control let you
decide what applications and
processes on your PC are
allowed to do and what - if
any- outbound connections
they may make. Spyware can’t
phone home from an
Outpost-protected PC.
-
Understand the threats
Every time Outpost asks you
for information regarding
action to be taken, Smart
Advisor helps you to choose
the best course of action by
displaying context-sensitive
hints and live advice. So
you’ll never need to wonder
whether you’ve made the
right security decision, and
you’ll learn something new
about firewall security
every time.
The new ImproveNet service
ensures you have access to
the latest application
behavior rules, eliminating
unnecessary requests for
action and automating the
task of making correct
access decisions while
maintaining the strongest
possible protection.
