Version: Ashampoo FireWall Pro 1.14
"This is not a review."
Pros: I can't review it because there is no "Vista" compatible version. I'm posting this so I can give an opinion and nothing more. "Ashampoo" has forty software applications that I found at their home page. Some are "Vista" ready and some aren't. Some of their software just worked on "Vista" without being updated and they only updated their most popular applications (the ones that sell the best). One perfect example is "Ashampoo Burning Studio 7.1". It's not much better then Ashampoo Burning Studio 6" ( 6 works fine on "Vista") but it's one of their best sellers. Neither of their firewalls have been updated for "Vista". Why? Because they don't make money from them.I have nothing personal against "Ashampoo", they have a few good applications and their sales department is brilliant. But if I were in the software business, things would be different. Have you ever asked yourself why "McAfee Site Adviser" goes so far as to block the connection th the "Ashampoo" home page? I don't know but with everything I've explained taken into consideration, coupled with the heavy amount of spam you get from them, it just looks fishy to me.
