Outpost Firewall , provides defense against PC infiltration by denying unauthorized access by remote hackers and protecting against data theft, denial-of-service attacks, privacy violation, Trojan horses, spyware and more.
Outpost Personal Firewall, a free, powerful, personal firewall for Windows with features found only in high-end, corporate firewalls. A product that satisfies all your needs in firewall software.
Four major criteria define Outpost Firewall : security, control, privacy and ease of use.
Security
QUOTE
It is obvious that all security related products should provide security. You wouldn't buy an antivirus system that catches only 50% of the worms that arrive in your e-mail inbox. The same is true of firewalls. A firewall should protect against every known threat from the Net.
We all know there is no such thing as 100% security, but of all the personal firewalls on the market, Outpost Personal Firewall comes closest. Outpost filters every know virus, worm, and trojan out of your emails. It also puts your computer into Stealth Mode, making it invisible to crackers and blocking attacks and intrusions from hackers. Outpost also keeps you protected against new attacks by updating its information frequently with a special utility.

Privacy
QUOTE
When you surf the Web your browser can reveal to the web sites you visit such personal info as: your location and who your ISP is, your surfing habits (previous and even next sites you visit), it can also save on your computer special cookie files that enable web site operators to monitor user preferences for the purpose of direct advertising. Our personal privacy is being repeatedly threatened. Do we now need to buy privacy tools, personal proxies and other software to safeguard our privacy? Fortunately for users, Outpost Personal Firewall is not your typical firewall.
Outpost not only secures your computer from attacks, it also protects your privacy. It prevents your browser from sending your personal information to the bad guys, blocks web sites' attempts to gather information about your browsing habits and guarantees your peace of mind from any other invasion of your privacy from the Internet. In other words, with Outpost you don't just get the best firewall around, you get an effective privacy tool as well.

Control
QUOTE
Today's children are using computers before they learn to write. Computing and the Internet is for the younger and younger. Just imagine the kind of adult web sites your kids can happen upon. This brings us to the third requirement of a personal firewall—control over your computers. You should be able to prevent your kids or your employees (or anyone else) from doing things with your computer that you don't want done.
Outpost Personal Firewall can protect your children from illegal and/or inappropriate web sites. Businesses can control the content allowed to be viewed by its employees. Advanced computer owners have complete flexibility to fine-tune their system's firewall protection.

Ease of use
QUOTE
At first, personal firewalls were widely criticized for their unfriendly and complex interfaces. Most firewalls today have not evolved from those roots. Rookie and even advanced users find most firewalls too awkward and complex.
Outpost was developed so even rookie users would enjoy using it. Outpost looks and acts like Windows Explorer so there is almost no learning curve.

Plug-ins and Open architecture
QUOTE
As well as those features mentioned above, Agnitum Outpost is the first personal firewall that supports plug-ins and open architecture, taking it far ahead of other firewalls.
A plug-in is an independent module that can be inserted into a program to expand that program's capabilities. With this technology, third-party developers can easily enhance the functionality of Outpost by creating and distributing their own plug-ins per Outpost's Open Architecture.
Currently, Outpost has six built-in plug-ins that provide:
Full privacy protection against all kinds of active elements in e-mail and WWW pages
Banner advertisement and pop-up window blocking
Protection of e-mail from dangerous attachments and worms
Every type of port scanning detection
Internet attack blocking (nuke, etc.)
Content filtering for parental control
DNS caching to speed connection times

We strongly recommend that you uninstall all other firewalls before installing Outpost Firewall. Running Outpost along with any other firewall software will very likely result in system instability (i.e. crashes) and almost certainly will result in Outpost operating in an insecure fashion.
Outpost Firewall is not compatible with Jammer.
We do not guarantee that Outpost Firewall will run on Microsoft ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) gateway (computer connecting two networks and transmitting packages from one network to another) running Windows2000 Service Pack 2 or Windows
