Publisher's Description
From Internet Security Systems:
BlackICE PC Protection delivers bulletproof intrusion detection and personal firewall protection to your PC. It scans your DSL, cable, or dial-up Internet connection looking for hacker activity, much like antivirus programs scan your hard disk looking for viruses. BlackICE will not slow down your PC or your Internet experience. BlackICE PC Protection protects you in ways the other personal firewalls or antivirus software don't: it detects the attack, identifies and blocks the malicious activity before it can reach your computer, and identifies the attacker and type of attack by name; it fully inspects the contents of each packet, looking for hidden hostile code that personal firewalls cannot detect; it protects you from attack, even from someone you trust, through its dynamic IP address and port blocking. BlackICE PC Protection is also easy to install, requires no knowledge of networking or the Internet, and begins to protect your system right out of the box.

Version: BlackICE PC Protection 3.6.crh
Pros
I've used Blackice before, and know it is a good program.
Cons
I could not set up BlackIce, since the setup routine asks for a key which is not provided anywhere.
Summary
Good software. Bad setup routine.

"License required, no license, no install."
Version: BlackICE PC Protection 3.6.crh
Pros
0 as in none.
Cons
The installer asks for a license, since I don't have one, it won't let me install. This is crap.
Summary
I dislike not being able to install, because I have no license to put in the stupid installer. Thanks, but no thanks, someone needs a very good smack in the head.

"THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE."
Version: BlackICE PC Protection 3.6.crh
Pros
Best security ever made. Protects and tracks back to where the attack came from. No other security program has ever come close.
Cons
None. Black Ice was perfect.
Summary
IBM HAS TAKEN OVER WWW.ISS.NET. THIS PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE, NOR IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH MOST WINDOWS UPDATES FOR XP AND VISTA SINCE THE COMPANY NEVER BOTHERED TO MAKE SUCH UPDATES. IBM/ISS ONLY MAKES BUSINESS PROGRAMS NOW.
ISS NO LONGER MAKES PRODUCTS FOR CONSUMERS. -
