Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This firewall offers the rare combination of a powerful feature set and an easy-to-use design. During installation, the program finds all network-enabled applications on your PC and lets you set security policies for each. This eliminates the endless pop-up boxes you get with many firewalls, wherein you must allow or disallow certain processes from accessing your machine. We appreciate the ability to fine-tune all aspects of network usage using rules, and the easy-to-analyze logs are another big plus. In our tests, the firewall demonstrated good performance, successfully blocking several Trojan horses from our PC. Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro also enhances your Web-surfing experience by blocking pop-ups, Flash ads, and banners, as well as potentially dangerous elements on pages. Persons looking for a robust yet low-maintenance firewall should take a close look at Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro.Publisher's description
From Agnitum :Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro provides superior defense against PC infiltration. Outpost detects and blocks hacker attacks, guards the privacy of data stored on your computer, monitors the network activity of your system and applications, provides secure Web surfing, and prevents Internet worms from activating from your in-box. In addition, the program can remove annoying pop-ups and ads and increase connection times. To ensure your protection against new threats, Outpost updates information frequently through a custom utility.

The unique Open Process Control, Process Memory Control, and Component Control features, combined with the exclusion list that prevents applications from modifying process properties and sharing common Windows components, allow Outpost users comprehensive yet flexible protection against hidden malware communication requests.

Version: Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2.7 (493.416)
Pros: Simple to configure and use, Outpost clearly has dominated the field since inception. We the users have always stood for software which was affordable, easy to use and above all stable. Outpost entirely handles all aspects without compromising the system resources. A must have for all users requiring protection at a home level.
Cons: Cant think of anything.

Version: Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2.7 (493.416)
Pros: Rock solid defenses against all two-way traffic, active content filtering, detailed logging, low resource usage and warns against any and all changes in a programs file profile.
Cons: Still no complete control over logging.
Sometimes lags Internet connection a little bit when issuing warnings about the connection or its content.

Version: Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2.7 (493.416)
Cons: One needs to be a computer expert to understand this program. Everything is regarded as suspicious and the subsequent questions are in a techspeak that I can make heads nor tails of. Especially inadvisable for non-english speaking users.
