• Media: CD-ROM
• Item Quantity: 1

Features and Benefits:
Identity Theft Prevention. Places an easy-to-use, always on-guard barrier between hackers and your hard drive, blocking access to sensitive files, financial records and personal data.

Immediate Alerts. Records potentially hostile Internet traffic, providing clear response options for each threat.

New! Intrusion Prevention. Personal Firewall Plus' Intrusion Detection System (IDS) detects and prevents common attack types and other suspicious activity. Intrusion prevention monitors every inbound or outbound data packet for suspicious data transfers or transfer methods. It compares these to a "signature" database and automatically drops packets coming from the offending computer, providing greater protection for your PC.

New! Enhanced Intelligent Application Handling. Denies outbound Internet access to malicious applications (spyware, trojans and remote-control agents) that might surreptitiously transmit personal data to hackers, while "fingerprinting" trusted programs to connect without unnecessary or false alarm alerts. An improved application database now offers more details about connecting programs.

Customized Blocking. Allows on-demand blocking of traffic from specific computers and systems.

New! Setup Assistant. Personal Firewall Plus is designed for maximum protection the moment it is installed, letting users "set it and forget it." For added convenience, an easy-to-follow Setup Assistant allows users to easily choose their interaction level with both Internet and firewall, including alert settings and advisory recommendations.

New! Enhanced Intrusion Tracing. Features easy-to-read graphical maps showing the source of hostile attacks and traffic worldwide, including detailed contact/owner information from originating IP addresses and all subsequent steps to your PC. Now includes improved Visual Trace geographical data, helping pin-point locations of intruders.

Detailed Event Information. Records day-at-a-glance and weekly intrusion attempts plus unsolicited Internet traffic involving your PC.

Exclusive! Hackerwatch.org Integration. Links to a dedicated anti-hacking database and Worldwide Hacker Activity Map, offering tips on responding to specific attacks, self-testing tools and channels to email online authorities of hacker events.

New! Enhanced Summary Page. Shows most frequently blocked Internet and network traffic (in real time) along with a graph of port activity on your local computer.

New! Traffic Monitoring. Shows both incoming and outgoing data across your Internet connection plus the Internet bandwidth of certain applications. Also displays, in real time, IP addresses applications are connecting to.
