Publisher's Description
From Agnitum:
Anti-virus, firewall, anti-spam, and more for all-round proactive protection that's totally free. All-in-one online and offline malware defense and powerful data leak prevention combine to deliver robust, bullet-proof security for individuals and families. Version 7 contains System Guard to protect your operating system against hijacking. The anti-malware technology has received Virus Bulletin's acclaimed VB100 awards multiple times, which tells you can be confident that the software is well-equipped to detect and remove in-the-wild malware. The personalized anti-spam incorporates both traditional spam filtering criteria such as white- and black lists and keyword filtering. Agnitum's performance-driven security is lightweight and doesn't slow your computer down; it is even suitable for netbook and other low-end PCs. The SmartScan3 optimization boosts subsequent scan speed and overall system responsiveness. The new data filtering optimization delivers increased performance for the firewall module, further reducing resource usage. No matter your level of expertise, Outpost Security Suite Free will meet your needs with automatically-applied anti-malware updates as well as real-world security policies from the ImproveNet user collaboration network. This unique system automatically configures and applies rules that govern how various applications on the PC access the Internet based on extensive default settings for the most popular software packages. This relieves users of the need to correctly configure Outpost to handle different programs. OSS Free is the first completely free fully-functional security suite, setting a new standard for basic protection. Opposite to proactive protection systems that are ready only to prevent from infection, Outpost Free is fine with virus removal.
Outpost Security Suite Free can be used during 2 days without registration. After this period the product should be registered with a FREE key. Outpost will provide you with instructions on how to get a FREE key.
What's new in this version: Some registration keys were not accepted; incompatibility issues with OS optimization utilities are fixed; most commonly reported crashes are fixed; more minor and interface issues.

"Very good free Security Suite"
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
It uses little system resources. It has a high detection rate. Compared to many other AVs, you can quit it while in Windows. That is very usefull to run blocked Software, eg. a keygen. The interface is easy to use. The firewall works excellent. You can set the security level of the firewall. Anything between no of and so high, that it will even ask you weather wou want to run certain Windows processes...
Cons
None, except maybe, that the free version doesn't have the so called "priority updates". That just means that you can't update on demand. Instead it will automatically update once a day. And in my opinion updating once a still makes the engine up-to-date.
Summary
A very good free AV. The firewall is very good. Simple interface. The only difference to the paid version are the "pririty updates". But I think the automatic update once a day is more than enough. Compared to comodo, it is much easier on resources. I've used it for long now and I didn't get any malware so far. I did get a trojan once when using Microsoft Security Essentials. The ability to completely exit the software and turn of all its services is also very usefull, as you will be able to use software, that got blocked, something not possible with many other suites, as they can't be turned of. If you can live with it being updated "only" once a day, this is certainly a very good choice.

"Very good security suite."
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
I think, that so powerful protection from a free internet security suite is enough for a user.
Cons
I can't delete the remains after the unistallation of the app from
a virtual O.S. through i test it.Summary
If i compare this security suite with similar paid known softwares is
clearly better. -
"Very good and stable"

1.Free 2.Very light on the system
3. Found a trojan created by Canon LBP 1120 printer, removed it and the printer works nice.
4. Uninstalls perfectly, unlike AVGCons
Updates are not always available.
Summary
Good

"maybe the paid version is good"
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
-decent firewall
-excellent ratings on matousec.
-free
-not heavy
-not overly aggressive like ZoneAlarm.Cons
-lacking latest virus definitions in free.
-not the best free suite. Comodo is way better but Outpost is better than zonealarm.
-pesky pop ups like in Comodo IS.
cannot see the benefit of using free unless you wanna try before purchasing the paid version. WHY? because the VIRUS ENGINE is a year old and you only get up to date definitions unless you pay for it.Summary
You would be better off with a free suite like Comodo or a combination of free AV and firewall and url checker like Bitdefender's trafficlight(free).

"THIS HAS GOT TO BE SOME KIND OF JOKE YES ?"
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
HAVEN'T FOUND THE PRO'S TO THIS SECURITY SUITE YET DO NOT THINK IT HAS ANY IT TRIES TO SELL YOU THE PRO VERSION BEFORE YOU EVER GET IT INSTALLED THATS GETTING OF TO A BAD START!
Cons
ITS HARD TO GET THE PRODUCT KEY FOR THIS SUITE I HAD TO TRY THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BEFORE I GOT THE BIG ASSED KEY FOR IT NO JOKE A FIVE LINER!

"Unstable, slow, troublesome suite"
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
None at all.
Cons
1. The AV has very low detection rates, and very very poor at cleaning up virus infections. Even MS Security Essentials (VB100) has better detection rates, cleans better, and is free.
2. The smartdecision in this suite slows down browsing and causes the computer to freeze for 2-3 minutes or longer each time you try to run an application. They should call it stupiddecision instead.
3. The updates are very irregular, most times the updater runs but no updates are available. Somehow the updater seems to be sending data out from the PC. The log does not show, but other process monitoring software shows. Strange. Is this company sending any of my private data to themselves?
4. This suite causes intermittent bluescreen crashes, especially on warm reboots.
5. Firebox and IE browsers seem to be non responsive for long periods of time after installing this suite. Browsing and downloading becomes very slow.Summary
Don't bother to give yourself more trouble. Security suites are meant to be like bodyguards that protect us. But Outpost turn out to be a bodyguard that annoys you and makes your life miserable on the PC. There are better products out there: AVAST + COMODO gives much better protection with less trouble.

"Its the best ever!!!"
Version: Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1.1
Pros
Its fee and easy to use and it works!!!
Cons
None I can think off.
Summary
I have been using the paid version on my laptop for 10 years and have never had a problem. I was happy when the free version came out, I use the free version on all my computers(5 total) and have not had any problems. unlike the other free antivirus software out there, this one will help you remove a virus if you get 1 and the others wont. I have tried all the other free antivirus software and most of the paid antivirus software out there and this is the best.
