Agnitum Outpost Security Pro is a very comprehensive security application designed for use by home users which features an array of defenses against common security threats.
Some updates to the suite from previous versions of Outpost Security Pro include increased performance while integrating an improved anti-malware engine. This version is called the "Performance Edition" because of some serious improvements to the way Outpost Security Pro uses (and saves) system resources.
Outpost Security Pro combines a range of protective measures into one application, so you might say that this is anti-spyware, anti-malware, a firewall and antivirus combined into one product. It also protects users against online activity which may result in identity theft and hackers. On the AntiVirus front, Outpost does a great job of keeping you safe by using "Proactive Protection", effectively a real-time file scanner which checks whether running programs match any of the characteristics of known viruses. Outpost Security Pro also now integrates support for popular archive formats and can quarantine files which are believed to be unsafe.
The firewall component of Outpost monitors network activity for any incoming (or outgoing) threats which could be harmful to your PC's security and actively blocks and denies access to possibly malicious applications and sources. Compared to other firewalls, this one doesn't seem annoying for a user who is constantly online. The auto-learn mode is well done.
This version can be tested for free up to 30 days and after that, if you've found acceptable protection from threats with Outpost, you can purchase it with ease from Agnitum. A free version is also available with a lower level of protection against threats.From Agnitum, Ltd:
