It's been out for a while - after OSS PRO 7.0 was released and is currently v7.1.1, I think. Agnitum released it after pulling the plug on its Free Firewall.
In comparison with PRO [which is now up to 7.5.1, with significant performance improvements over the 7.0 release], it misses on:

• Configurable System Guard
• File and Folder Lock
• Removable Media Protection
• Attack Detection
• IP Blocklist
• Configuration Maintenance - Import, Export and New

When first released, you could only update once a day - it was a restriction imposed on the Free edition, which was pretty bad. The restriction has been fixed since, in v7.1.1, I think. There were also some major usability issues, such as any upgrade would be actually a new installation, and with import/export missing you'd have to start creating your application rules all over again [not sure if this is still the case, hopefully they have listened to the feedback and rectified this as well].

A registration is required for a year-long license. Also, you can only install the full package, meaning that you get the VirusBuster Anti-Malware engine, which although VB100-certified could be described as adequate...

I knew about it several months ago but was uninterested at all to try it for an unknown reason. Anyway thanks for taking your time to share it with us

This is the worst free suite that I've ever seen, You can get so much more with Comodo Internet Security which is also a free suite. CIS is much better too in most aspects.

Agree with you there BoXX28, no restrictions on CIS at all, best suite going in my opinion.

Not one of my favourite AV, only because of the excellent experience I have had with them. No slow downs or anything like that.

 

[Exorcizm]

Sounds pretty great.. ^_^

I might give this a try soon

I have tried outpost before and it doesnt agree with my computer for some reason.
Anyway comodo is far superior with no such restrictions and crappy nagware.Also agnitum claim this is the first free suite which is a load of crap.
Just my thoughts.

Their firewall feature is from better to nearly excellent, however its AV could called as mediocre performance.

+ The free suite is a watered down versio due from its lack features and updates.
