This topic will not be interesting to users of Unix-like and mobile operating systems, unless they are faced with the need to protect personal computers running Windows - XP, Vista, Windows 7.
Last week, Agnitum offered to all users of free versions of Outpost products to switch to version 7.1 (see the official website Outpost Free ).
Three reasons why it is worth going (or starting to use the free integrated Outpost): ')
1. It is free. Agnitum in return takes only the registration e-mail, where it sends the key for a year.
2. For users of Outpost Firewall Free 6.5, this gives protection, upgraded from the release of version 6.5 in April 2009, which at that time consisted of a two-way personal firewall with a HIPS module (part known as Anti-Leak).
Major changes to Outpost Free 7.1:
Windows 7 compatible
improved self-defense of all product modules
The restriction on the number of network rules created in the firewall has been removed.
System Guard ("System Protection" as part of) - presets that provide anti-Windows blocker driver loading
Antivirus and antispam - if necessary, use them in addition to the basic functionality of Firewall and HIPS.
2nd anti-virus module as part of a single “Anti-Malware” (“Antivirus + Anti-Spyware”), previously disabled in the Free version
Improved self-defense of the antivirus module
the ability to choose between automatic updates (the default) and manual updates on demand + availability of the update function at any time. And you can not pay, yes.
