Outpost 7 - introducing the public release candidate

We're approaching the official release of Outpost 7 - our new product line (Outpost Security Suite Pro, Outpost Firewall Pro, Outpost Antivirus Pro 7.0). As you already know, these new products incorporate a modern approach to combating ID theft by specifically protecting cached personal data (stored by browsers, IMs, etc.), also they add a handful of new privacy and security features.

We're sure you'll be interested to know in advance and take a look at the release candidate version.

Once again, here's a taster of what's new and what's special in Outpost Security Suite Pro 7.0:
  • protection for cached login details and passwords, electronic wallet IDs, etc. stored by the browser, IM exchanges, and electronic payment processors – to resist personal data theft and zero-day threats
  • protection against malware corruption for locally-stored digital valuables
  • file and registry activity monitor - for deep analysis of ongoing events
  • updated user interface and compatibility following the introduction of Windows 7
  • new iteration of the heuristic module (HAX – heuristic analyzer X)
  • restored "stop words" web filter which traces back to the earlier versions of Outpost
Improvements to existing functionality include:
  • enhanced scanning performance and usability
  • extended anti-leak functionality
  • the new auto-updated antimalware engine certified by VB100
  • firewall tweaks: smooth transition to Windows Filtering Platform and decreased channel load.
To cut the long story short, release candidate version of all three solutions (firewall, antivirus, security suite) are already available for download.

Many thanks to all Outpost beta-testers, your feebdack has resulted in precious improvements and tweaks! We still need your help on this stage, so let's do it together!

If you install Outpost 7 RC1, it will turn off the windows firewall which is good as we don't want two firewalls running at the same time.

But after uninstalling Outpost 7 RC1 it will not turn on Windows Firewall again. And if you turn it on in the Control Panel it will only be on until you reboot (then it will be off again). Outpost apparently sets the Windows Firewall service to "Manual" and doesn't change it back after uninstalling.

To fix it, open Computer Management (right click on Computer in Start Menu, then select Manage), find Services under "Services and Appplications" and then find the entry for "Windows Firewall". Set this to "Automatic" (it was still set to manual after uninstalling Outpost).
