Automatic submission of untrusted files directly from Outpost action request window

We would like to put stress on the fact that alerts with action requests (simply "alerts") coming from different modules of Outpost 7.5 are unified as Firewall, Anti-Malware and Proactive Protection are deeply integrated with SmartDecision technology.

Alert for process/file activity is marked by one of the following colors:

- Red - untrusted files

- Yellow – suspicious files

- Green – processes and/or files from trusted sources with active digital signatures

In these circumstances one more feature of Outpost Pro 7.5 becomes of a great importance, it is an ability to automatically submit suspicious files for analysis directly from Outpost action request window. This feature has been recently mentioned by our users in the blog.

This feature is already enabled by default in the configuration of Outpost Pro 7.5 public beta version, the size of the file should not exceed 20MB. To adjust settings please go to General – ImproveNet tab in the product settings.

All further improvements of SmartDecision technology are coming in Release Candidate expected on May 17.

Outpost Firewall Pro 7 Wins Hard'n'Soft Editor's Choice

We are delighted to announce that Outpost Firewall Pro 7 was awarded the Editor's Choice in Windows-compatible firewall tests performed by Russian IT magazine Hard'n'Soft. The test results were published in the October 2010 issue.

Competing with other seven personal security products (Avira, Dr. Web, ESET, Kaspersky Crystal, Outpost, Panda, Safe'n'Sec, Trend Micro), primarily security suites with a firewall component, Outpost won in all categories:

• Comodo leak tests for intrusion detection and prevention
• Ease-of-use
• Functionality
• Bonus features beyond the firewall

In summarizing the test results, the Hard'n'Soft researcher noted: "Outpost Firewall Pro scored the best among all the participants, with 330 points out of a possible 340. Moreover, this reliable firewall comes with lifetime support and updates. Combined with Outpost Firewall Pro's functionality, which includes antispyware and ad blocking as well as the firewall, this confirmed to us that we should grant the Editor's Choice award to Agnitum's software".

In addition to the core component – the two-way firewall (network filter for inbound and outbound data) which stops inappropriate or malicious access to and from both internal (LAN) and external (Internet) sources, Outpost incorporates proactive behavioral protection that defends against zero-day threats and prevents the leak of confidential data, delivering protection that reflects real-world conditions.

For further information about Outpost 7 and to download a trial version, please visit the Outpost Firewall Pro product page.
