Publisher's Description:
Outpost Security Suite Pro is a robust, proactive Internet security solution that protects against a broad range of current and future threats, from viruses and spyware to rootkits and botnets.
Outpost Security Suite Pro brings together the award-winning Outpost Firewall Pro, a new anti-malware engine that combines anti-virus and anti-spyware capabilities, unique Host Protection module and a self-learning anti-spam engine. The robust, bidirectional firewall ensures that your PC is invisible to hackers when you're online, and enables you make your surfing private and secure. Additionally, it safeguards a PC from malicious impact when it's connected to unknown or hostile networks such as WiFi hotspots at an airport.
The powerful and efficient anti-malware scanner not only quarantines and/or removes any active or idle malicious objects from your PC but also has deploys proactive behavior to prevent new malware infections. By monitoring how programs interact with each other, the system is able to intelligently preempt and close down any unauthorized or malicious activity. This approach means that conventional scan time is minimized, ensuring optimum performance of your PC at all times.
The anti-spam component takes a Bayesian algorithm approach to the problem of junk mail, empowering you to determine exactly what constitutes spam for you. The longer you use it, the more efficient it becomes. And by shielding its internal components from unauthorized access, Outpost's special tamper-proof safeguard makes it impossible for the protection to be deactivated.
The final piece of the Outpost solution is ImproveNet, the community of users and Agnitum engineers that together ensures the most secure and up-to-date firewall configurations are automatically distributed to you whenever a new rule is certified for use. So Outpost protection is always as robust as possible, while retaining its acclaimed ease of use for even novice users
Benefits:
Safety on the Internet
The bidirectional firewall (network filter for inbound and outbound data) stops inappropriate or malicious access to your computer from both internal (LAN) and external (Internet) sources. As a frontline defense, it prevents malware from spreading or silently transmitting personal data, providing protection against hackers, ID theft, unknown viruses, and unauthorized program activity. It will also guard your wired and wireless networks against eavesdropping and internal breaches.
Preemptive protection against threats
As a measure of preemptive defense in Outpost software, the Proactive Protection module monitors how programs interact and blocks illegal activity to protect your system against high-level security breach techniques employed in undetectable malware. Proven by all well-known "leak" simulation tests, it will greatly reinforce your systems ability to resist zero-day attacks. New! In the latest version of Outpost software, users can define a list of protected items such as Windows and typical Internet applications files and configuration settings, and these elements will be shielded from inappropriate access or malicious hijacking, thus bolstering security and integrity of local data.
360-degree protection against malware
The lightweight, highly-effective scanning engine combines anti-virus and anti-spyware capabilities to detect, disinfect and remove malicious programs automatically. The technology has been credited with multiple VB100 awards, meaning Antivirus is well equipped to detect and remove all in-the-wild malware. The on-access monitor is constantly on guard against malicious programs attempting to enter or activate on your PC, the on-demand scanner will inoculate dormant threats in specified locations, and antivirus will always check your incoming and outgoing email, as well as scan a flash USB stick for potential malware threats.
Secure web experience
The versatile Web Control module safeguards you against the Internets darker side. It steers you away from predatory websites spewing hidden malware and practicing financial fraud (e.g., phishing), prevents inadvertent disclosure of personal information, limits your exposure to unsafe web properties and superfluous elements such as pop-ups, animations and ad banners, plus it keeps your identity private.
Hide your personal files against others
New! You can set up an access password to your protected information, making files and folders inaccessible to other users on a shared computer. This feature is especially handy to conceal private photos and videos, as well as other sensitive data such as financial reports or installed game folder locations.
Bulletproof self-defense
In a typical attack scenario, malware or hackers seek to first shut down active security protection in order to proceed with the targeted attack. Outpost makes it impossible to terminate protective functions by "sandboxing", or shielding all its critical components and making them invincible to tampering. This ensures continuity of protection.
Personalized antispam
Incorporating both traditional spam filtering criteria such as white/blacklists and keywords filtering, and more sophisticated spam analysis techniques based on statistical probabilities of the Bayesian theory, the Antispam will be an effective and trainable instrument to save your time and nerves of having to deal with the ubiquitous spam messages. Agnitum antispam is compatible with the majority of email client applications.
Manage activities and events
You can track past events and see your system activity as it happens thanks to Outposts Events Log and Activity Monitoring features. Moreover, you can edit any network or local activity policy "on the fly" or quickly close down any unwanted program or connection. New! As a treat to advanced users, the new 7.0 version adds possibility to trace registry and system modifications of any running program in real-time, so you can collect as much data on its behavior as you need.
Performance-driven operation
Outpost protection is lightweight and doesnt slow down your computer; it is even suitable for netbook and low-end PC users. The new version has been improved performance-wise, so you can focus on using your computer productively, not worrying about security issues. The SmartScan optimization greatly boosts subsequent scan speed and overall system responsiveness. New! The new data filtering optimizations yield increased performance of the firewall module, cutting down on usage of processing resources.
Power without complexity
Whether youre a security novice or expert, you can easily configure Outpost Security Suite to meet your needs. Thanks to automatically applied security policies, the user-collaborated ImproveNet platform with constantly expanding knowledge base, the no-alerts Game mode, using a program will be easy and effective, with no additional hassles so you can focus on what you want to do, and leave the security to Outpost!
