Publisher's description
From OS Security :OSsurance's kernel firewall technology is your last line of defense. It stops the execution of spyware, viruses, buffer overflows (BoF), worms, and trojans, which the user has not purposely authorized. No updates are required. This all-in-one kernel-enforced protection acts as a firewall inside the operating system, allowing only authorized programs to install or to run, even if they passed through hardware firewalls or a non-current anti-virus. OSsurance's Secure Transaction Module (STM) prevents the user's passwords and commerce information in SSL-secured transactions from being stolen by hackers who replace SSL components on your PC with spyware. Permanent license available.

Version: OSsurance Desktop 4.0
"? MYSTERY PROGRAM ????????????"
Pros: It sounds like a wonderful product. But how well it works is just a mystery.
Cons: After installing this program, your asked to restart the computer, which I did. But the computer wouldnt really strat up. After several tries, I managed to get the computer up, but it was extremely sluggish and impossbile to work with. The only program that I had installed before this problem, was OSsurance. I immediately uninstalled and rebooted. PRESTO! My computer worked just fine. If certain programs need special configurations, then CNET should be kind enough to fill us in on the specs required in their summary of the program. If you want to try out this program, try it on a test machine first. I cant give a better evaluation untill they invent a pentium 20 at least, thats what it'll take to run this program!

Version: OSsurance Desktop 4.0
"Finally something that stops spyware and viruses without requiring daily updates"
Pros: Fully protected without signature updates. It even protects from software vulnerabilites before I install security patches! A bonus - no one else can install unwanted programs if I use the password feature.
Cons: It should automatically come with Windows to protect against the security holes.

"These people seem to have all the bases covered. Good work!"
Pros: I don't miss live updates of antivirus. I've had Ossurance stop a worm and then a few days later the antivirus company comes out with a signature -- too late.

Version: OSsurance Desktop 4.0
"Finally some protection that FREES UP all my time and RAM."
Pros: Quick install. Stopped and deleted some spyware (intlreco.exe)that I couldn't end even in taskmanager. I like the password feature which means that my kids can't authorize something bad that I have to clean up myself.
Cons: I wish I could actually attack the hacker back.
