Starting from version 3.0, Outpost Firewall Pro features full-scale spyware protection

Comprehensive spyware protection is being fully integrated into the release of 3.0 of Outpost Pro through Outpost’s proven plug-in technology. This integral protection will safeguard against spyware infection and stop spyware in its tracks before it can get anywhere near your data.

Here’s what you’ll find in Outpost Firewall Pro with Anti-Spyware:

• Real-time spyware protection:

  

  Outpost spyware protection won’t let spyware even try to get onto your PC. The multi-layered defense system will spot spyware’s every move and automatically prevent it from installing itself onto your machine. You don’t need to do anything – spyware is instantly and effortlessly halted!

  The special Outpost Anti-Spyware plug-in monitors computer activity in real time, ensuring that no malicious program can find its way into the system and compromise its integrity. By keeping a watchful eye on the core elements of the operating system, Outpost’s real-time monitor automatically protects your computer from spyware, Trojans and other malware lurking on the Internet.

  Your system’s internal program modules, registry key changes, started services and installed drivers are constantly monitored to ensure that your computer stays healthy and trouble-free, preventing application sabotage, bandwidth hijacking and leaking of personal data.

  Outpost’s extensive filtering provides multi-level threat protection throughout all possible stages of malware infestation - from drive-by installations to e-mail hoaxes and vulnerabilities to the unleashing of insidious payloads hidden in innocent-seeming software.

• On-demand spyware scanner: 

  

  Alongside the real-time spyware monitoring, Outpost provides an on-demand spyware scanner designed to identify and remove spyware that was already on your system or has by some small chance avoided detection by Outpost’s real-time protection.

  The easy-to-use scanner offers three modes – quick scan, full scan, and custom scan. The quick scan checks running programs, vital system files, predefined folders and the integrity of the internal OS configuration. The full scan checks your entire computer while the custom scan lets you specify which areas to scan.

   Malware signatures are constantly updated to ensure up-to-date protection against the latest spyware types; the update procedure can be automated or initiated manually.

• ID block:

  

  ID block lets you specify personal data that is never allowed to be transmitted by your computer through Internet browsers, IM software, e-mail clients or any other applications. It provides solid protection against identity theft through the abuse of credit card account details, passwords, or other unique and valuable personal information.

  It works very simply: the user enters any combination of symbols, letters or digits and that string is blocked from any outgoing communication. With the exception list, a user can compile a list of trusted addresses that are authorized to receive personal data, but any other requester would receive only the asterisk symbols which replace the original entry.

All these additions make Internet surfing easy and safe, protecting your computer against every conceivable Internet threat.
