The new web control component allows you to block potentially malicious sites, protecting users' systems from disclosing personal data and infections by hiding files. Filtering is based on the reputation of sites and occurs in the background, regardless of whether the Anti-Spyware is enabled or not. The list of blocked sites can be edited manually; It is also updated via automatic program update.
- Advanced monitoring of critical system objects. This feature allows more advanced users to assign allowed actions for subsequent control over vulnerable system objects and inappropriate program behavior.
- Full support for Vista and 64-bit platforms. Outpost’s completely redesigned architecture ensures that the product is now compatible with all versions of Windows since 2000, including Vista and all 64-bit versions of Windows.
- IPv6 support. Data transmitted over the new network connection protocol, IPv6, widely used in Windows Vista, is fully recognized, filtered and protected. The protocol is a development of its predecessor, IPv4, and is more scalable, and also presents a number of improvements in automation and security.
- Full support for user switching (Fast User Switching) and low privileged accounts. Outpost is now compatible with multi-user Windows environments and supports user switching and Remote Desktop connections. Under Vista, the product fully supports User Account Control security mechanisms.
- Effective web control. Extended ad blocking and protection against malicious sites ensure compatibility with even the most complex and sophisticated websites and provide even higher level of online security.
- Improved interface and ease of use. A streamlined Vista-style interface provides faster access to key program features.
- Auto-learning mode. When you first start, Outpost can start working in a special "learning mode" with the suppression of all notifications.

After the end of the training mode, the product returns to normal mode, but only requests action for new activity, significantly reducing the number of requests that require user response.
- A more intuitive scanning process for spyware. The scanner displays detailed information about the current process of scanning and removing malware, allowing the user to view the types of detected and deleted malicious objects in real time.
