DefenseWall Personal Firewall Giveaway
First of all we would like to thank SoftSphere Technologies for giving us the opportunity to give away 6 one year licenses for DefenseWall Personal Firewall.
How does DefenseWall Personal Firewall work?
DefenseWall Personal Firewall is not your average packet filtering application. It is intended to be used as an extra layer of protection for your system and it can run side by side with your antivirus product as well as simple firewall programs (as the default windows firewall).
DefenseWall uses a policy-based sandboxing technology to protect your system. It might sound complicated but this product is extremely easy to use and unlike other similar applications it won't display numerous pop-ups requiring your assistance. Applications allowed to access the Internet (Internet browsers, IM, P2P, e-mail clients, etc.) or the network as well as applications residing on removable drives or in Shared folders are considered to be opened doors than can provide a way for malware to reach your system. DefenseWall labels them as "Untrusted" and prevents them from altering your system. Every file created or process launched by an Untrusted application is also considered "Untrusted". In addition to this DefenseWall also prevents them from accessing the Web without your knowledge.
What makes DefenseWall Personal Firewall different?
While using some HIPS applications you are forced to answer numerous pop-ups, you feel the responsibility for keeping your PC clean. DefenseWall bears this responsibility on its own. Paired with a good signature-based antivirus and with the default Windows firewall, DefenseWall Personal Firewall ensures an excellent level of protection without lowering the usability of your PC. It can be used by advanced and novice users alike. It is properly configured out of the box but it also has a great deal of flexibility.
What DefenseWall Personal Firewall can't do?
More info and a trial version is available on SoftSphere Technologies web site.
