Outpost Firewall Pro provides a superior arsenal of defense against PC infiltration. Outpost ensures your online security

with solid protection against all Internet-borne threats. Outpost is the first personal firewall developed with Open

Architecture. It is also the first personal firewall that supports plug-ins. Sample plug-ins are included to show how this

revolutionary technology can easily be employed for such tasks as Intrusion Detection, Advertisement Blocking, Content

Filtering, E-mail Guard, and Privacy Control. It is equipped with every feature a personal firewall should have. It is the

most functional firewall in the world. It supports all the latest security techniques and features such as: Full Stealth

Mode, Anti-Leak, and MD5 Authentication.

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.

What you get:
* Advanced firewall for secure connections
* Antispyware to keep your PC spyware-free
* Host protection to block zero-day threats
* Web control to protect your PC from web-borne threats

Benefits:
• Safety on the Internet. The two-way firewall stops inappropriate or malicious access to your computer from both internal

(LAN) and external (Internet) sources. As a frontline defense, it prevents malware from spreading or “phoning home”,

providing protection against hackers, loss of personal data, unknown malware, and unauthorized program activity.
• Preemptive threat protection. Outpost’s Host Protection module monitors how programs interact to protect your system

against high-level security breaches and has passed all well-known leaktests to prevent unauthorized transmission of

information from your PC.
• No more spyware! Eliminate spyware with Outpost’s dedicated antispyware utility. Regular updates and always-on monitoring

ensure that spyware cannot activate and cause damage to your data or divert your applications.
• Secure web surfing. The versatile Web Control module safeguards you against the Internet’s darker side. It steers you away

from websites infected with drive-by downloads, prevents the inadvertent disclosure of personal information, limits your

exposure to potentially unsafe web properties, and keeps your identity private.
• Bulletproof self-defense. Outpost cannot be deactivated by targeted attacks, ensuring continuity of protection.
• Power without complexity. Whether you’re a security novice or expert, you can easily configure Outpost Firewall Pro to meet

your needs. Thanks to automated and context-sensitive help, the firewall can learn how to handle alerts and make decisions

for you, so you can focus on what you want to do, and leave the security to Outpost!

Supported platforms: 32- and 64-bit Windows (Vista, XP, Server 2003), Windows 2000 (SP3 and above).
