Outpost stories: on guard of Windows 7

We'd like to remind you that another Outpost Story competition announced in our regular newsletter is soon coming to an end. We're closing down the text form on September 1.

You still have a chance to win one of the prizes by telling us how Outpost 6.7 dealt with security issues on Windows 7 RC. No matter how short or long your story is, just follow a few simple rules:

• the story should be in English
• the story should be based on real experience with Outpost 6.7
• you are welcome to report the difficulties with Outpost 6.7 but just as part of the story, not in a "wanna-submit-a-bug" manner
• no libel or bad language please!

To give you a taster of possible texts, we publish two excerpts from our users' stories below:

- Our user from the US:

I have been using Windows 7 RC 64-bit for about 4 months now and needed a firewall suite that would be compatible for this system. I work for a cable company and the software suite that they provide is not compatible for Windows 7 RC 64-bit. I looked at the reviews on almost every security site that was out there. I have a Associates in IT Networking/Security Management and seeing the reviews, I decided to try Outpost Security Pro 2009. I installed it without a hitch and started to play around and was amazed at the protection that it provided. I used several 3rd party security check sites and they all returned with great results.

I have used several different Firewall suites and by far this one has had the best tech support and software. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that is running Windows 7 RC 64 bit.

- Our user from Finland:

For a long time in my life, I didn’t care about having any protection software on my computer. All the software I tried just didn’t seem to do anything. One day a good friend of mine proposed the Outpost Security Suite Pro, which I wasn’t sure that I’d like or if it would even work at all. I had recently started using the new Windows 7 RC, so I was ready for some problems. Nevertheless, I decided to give the software a try. To my surprise it installed without any problems and after looking around in the options I fell in love with it.

<...> The software gave me excellent control over programs and how they connected to the internet. I didn’t even know some of the programs were calling “home”. This already made me feel so much safer and all the programs that required internet access worked as smoothly as they would have without any protection. Unlike before, I now had full control over the software on my computer. Everything was working as smooth as before, no; in fact, it was working smoother than before as I now had total control over my whole system.

By the way, the American customer reported an issue in Entertainment mode that we addressed immediately ;-)
