• geswall is simply perfect

  ianbodDecember 12, 2011

  Pros

  had geswall over 1 year it has never let me down,nothing has got on my pc ever.if you get some kind of bug it cant run just sits there dead and when you do a scan with a virus checker it finds it and says disabled and cleans out the bits of dead rubbish ,cool. check you tube people throw up to 20 virus at it in one go and nothing gets through

  Cons

  none just remember to right click and label as trusted after avast scan of course,so that your downloads will work.also upgrade any browser with it switched off cos it wont take.

  Summary

  i think geswall is perfect and more effective than traditional anti virus apps also seems to work with most apps with no problems,although i do have a problem with google chrome.

• Prevents all infections

  Brandonn2010January 29, 2011

  Pros

  Will stop all infections unless you unisolate something malicious

  Cons

  No 64-bit support until version 3.0

  Summary

  Excellent policy-based HIPS that prevents all infections. A great alternative to Defeneswall if you don't want to pay for a security product.

• EXPIRED NO LONGER A WORKABLE VERSION

  Lordsbaby2007January 20, 2011

  Pros

  NONE To add period

  Cons

  Upon install it said after extracting that this version has expired please download and recent version.......

  Summary

  Dont think so the publisher should upload an updated copy when they submit them to download sites.

• GESWALL almost crashed my system!!!

  andrewoman1August 23, 2010

  Pros

  NO "pro;s". Almost crashed my system. I am no IT wizard, but never had issues installing software before - NEVER! When I went to restart after install, I got the black screen of death. Fortunately I was able to get in safe mode and delete GeSwall.

  Cons

  TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CNET should provide 0 stars. I guess it gets my forced one star for not totally locking my computer up???

  Summary

  GeSwall sucks to high heaven! See my "pros". User Beware! If it almost crashed my system on install. I'd hate to see it in action. Very bizarre behavior, considering I have never had issues installing software. I have installed dozens of software and NEVER, not once, had an issue with installation.

• wish i would have found this sooner

  wblake22June 19, 2010

  Pros

  with GeSwall i dont need so many security apps any more just give me Avast and a cookie scanner and im set, it isolates everything on the internet so it cant affect your computer and nothing can make changes,

  Cons

  nothing to complain about yet

  Summary

  if its a program you know is safe just take it out of isolation my computer will never be without this again now that i know about it, this can keep your computer safer than any antivirus can just be careful what you take out of isolation and you wont have to worry about virus anymore

• GSWall is a disappointment

  BlueBoon56May 29, 2010

  Pros

  It is enthusiastic in it's attempts to protect.

  Cons

  It asks about blocking the browsers and then doesn't block anything else.

  Summary

  It just wasn't well thought out or programed.

• This security app is underrated (Its not a firewall).

  TikkiduneqMay 25, 2010

  Pros

  Isolates applications (can be set to auto-isolation). Is compatible with Sandboxie. Downloaded files are untrusted (right click context menu option to trust them). Set and forget.

  Cons

  Ugly icons both on the desktop and tray (doesn't matter when its a good security app). A bit hard to understand at first glance but the help file makes it clear.

  Summary

  I've had this one for 3 days and it has prevented attacks 116 times, restricted operations 303 times and isolated 36 applications. This is a good one and its free!

• Great HIPS protection

  nickadinDecember 5, 2009

  Pros

  HIPS protection is one of the best defenses, shriyaraj obviously thinks this is a firewall, it is not.

  Cons

  It can be a little difficult to understand

  Summary

• not a user friendly

  shriyarajAugust 2, 2009

  Pros

  quiet a good level of firewall security

  Cons

  it was unable to defend higher level of intrusions
