Outpost Firewall Pro is a powerful, full-featured firewall for Windows, designed for families and businesses of all sizes. Outpost Firewall Pro gives peace-of-mind from threats such as hackers, e-mail viruses, spyware, adware and virtually every other Internet danger. Unlike other personal firewalls, Outpost starts protecting against internal and external attacks as soon as it’s installed. This is the first firewall with an open architecture and support for plug-ins, so developers worldwide can easily extend its capabilities.
Outpost Firewall Pro protects systems from worm and virus attacks that arrive by e-mail. Users can filter e-mails based upon their content, and Outpost will prevent dangerous attachments from executing.
Outpost runs under Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, and a free version is available for home users. You can download a copy from the Agnitum web site at http://www.agnitum.com/.
