Ashampoo
FireWall - компактный файрволл для обеспечения безопасности нахождения
в интернете. Программа имеет очень простой пользовательский интерфейс,
не перегруженный (по умолчанию) лишними опциями и поэтому, скорее
всего, ориентирована в первую очередь на начинающего пользователя.
Несмотря на это, поддерживается два режима работы - простой (с
минимумом самых необходимых настроек) и расширенный экспертный. Внимание!
Перед установкой Ashampoo Firewall желательно удалить любые другие
программы аналогичного назначения (и отключить стандартный файрволл
Windows), в противном случае возможно появление конфликтов. Ashampoo Firewall - отслеживет всю сетевую активность и контролируя доступ всевозможных приложений. Ashampoo
Firewall автоматически определяет приложения, которые пытаются
подключиться к сети, и предлагает настроить разрешения. Поддерживается
два режима работы - простой (при помощи автоматического мастера можно
настроить политику для отдельных приложений) и экспертный режим
(предоставляется полный контроль и возможность индивидуальной настройки
приложений).
Full protection without confusing jargon You
probably know that you need a firewall program to use the Internet
safely. In addition to protecting you against attacks from the
Internet, a good firewall will also tell you when programs installed on
your computer are trying to phone home and enable you to prevent them
from doing it. This is something that Windows® own firewall doesn’t do,
and it’s essential for identifying and stopping the activities of many
malicious virus and spyware programs. For example, this enables you to
prevent your computer from being turned into a “zombie” controlled by
spammers or destructive hackers.
Small and efficient instead of big and confusing If
you don’t have a degree in computer science, using a firewall program
can be quite frustrating. In addition to all the confusing jargon,
current firewalls are getting to be very big programs. Sometimes you
have the feeling that you’re installing an entire office suite instead
of a basic network tool. The brand-new Ashampoo FireWall FREE is
different. Its Configuration Assistant guides you through every step of
the simple setup process. And Easy Mode makes using it a breeze – you
don’t need any special technical knowledge and everything is explained
clearly. Ashampoo FireWall FREE is also amazingly compact. Even with
its four additional security tools it’s a tiny program that uses very
little memory and computer resources. You get the heavy-duty protection
without heavyweight overload on your system.
Self-explanatory user interface Ashampoo
has years of experience in making programs simple to use. The Ashampoo
FireWall FREE user interface explains itself, every step of the way.
The information is right there on the screen where you need it, so that
most users will never need to consult the help. But detailed help is
also there when you need it.
Activate expert features if you need them This
doesn’t mean that Ashampoo FireWall FREE is a lightweight program. On
the contrary, it has a full range of expert features if you want to use
them – just activate Expert Mode and you’re ready to go. For
example, in Expert Mode you can create detailed rules for every
program, specifying exactly which ports and which types of connections
you want to let it use. Experienced users can also monitor both
local area network connections and the internal connections inside your
own computer. You also get detailed information on all your computer’s
internal, LAN and external connections and communications settings and
statistics, updated continuously at user-defined intervals.
Four additional network security tools In
addition to solid firewall protection, Ashampoo FireWall FREE comes
with four additional integrated tools that can significantly increase
your security:
AutoStart Manager: Both regular
programs and malicious programs often configure themselves to start
automatically with Windows. This can be both annoying and dangerous.
This tool shows all auto-starting programs and enables you to disable
them.
System Processes Monitor: Shows you all the
processes running on your system and enables you to stop them. Useful
for identifying and killing malicious programs.
Internet Cleaner: Wipes all traces of your surfing activity from your computer to protect your privacy.
IP Spam Blocker:
Prevents annoying popup spam on the desktop that is sent using the
Windows messaging service (not to be confused with the Windows
Messenger instant messaging program).
