YOUR ESSENTIAL INTERNET DEFENSE. Leading personal firewall with antispyware,
proactive defense and secure browsing tools. 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's New in Outpost 7:
• Application guard New! The new Application Guard feature, which comes as an
upgrade to Outpost's Proactive Protection module, defends sensitive data stored
by various Internet-enabled applications such as instant messengers, web
browsers, e-mail clients and e-banking software from compromise. Items such as
cached/saved login details and passwords, configuration files, electronic wallet
contents, etc. are now shielded from being tampered or hijacked by unauthorized
non-related applications.
• System guard Improved! As an extension to Outpost's Proactive Protection
module, the System Guard feature secures critical system files and
configurations against misuse or compromise. The list of protected items could
be extended by adding the program of your choosing to the protected system
software list.
• File and folder lock New! File & Folder Lock functionality enables protection
of locally-stored assets from corruption, modification or illegal access by
other users or malware. With just a few clicks within the "File and Folder Lock"
section of the Proactive Protection settings panel in Outpost, you can simply
select a folder or file you wish to protect and set limitations by defining
access password.
• Real-time File and Registry Activity monitoring New! File and Registry
Activity provides an invaluable opportunity to look into system events at a
closer range by monitoring activity of any given active process and tracking
system changes in real time. The user can analyze every active process, its path
and time as well as track registry modifications in order to take action with
Outpost's ample functionality.
• Antivirus module Improved! The antivirus engine has been improved with new
detection and cure capabilities. Besides, the Quarantine component has been
reworked to become more actionable -- it's now easier to decide upon suspicious
objects. Agnitum's heuristic analyzer, part of Antimalware, has been updated to
ensure efficient monitoring of autostarted objects' behavior on system start-up.
• Restored Content Filter New! Legacy of Outpost 4.0, Content Filter has been
restored in the new version of Outpost. The module analyzes web contents for the
presence of defined keywords before a certain page is loaded, and steers the
user away from suspicious or abusive sources on the Internet.
• Extended Anti-Leak capabilities Improved! New types of data leak techniques
have been incorporated into Outpost's Proactive Defense module to ensure
up-to-date protection against new attacks employed in zero-day threats. The
module's effectiveness has been proved by successfully deterring new malware
samples and passing existing leak tests.
• Update process Improved! Whenever updates to the main antivirus engine
(executable module) become available, they will be automatically applied without
the need for user participation (providing, of course, for system reboot). This
ensures latest protection is always in place without any hassles from the user's
end.
• Stability on new platforms Improved! The introduction of new standards to the
Outpost 7 lineup make it better compatible and stable running on the new Windows
7 platform, with fewer occurrences of slowdowns and interoperability issues.
These changes make Outpost even better positioned to meet the future arrival of
new Windows OS.
• User interface with a facelift Improved!
The interface changes were designed to reflect the modern Windows 7 look and
provide better visibility of product notifications. Redesigned setting panels
make program configuration more.
