Pros

• The Firewall lets you apply Program rules with which you can create and modify network access rights on per-application basis or even across the entire system
• System Networking rules for protocols and standard applications taking place during software and networking service interaction can be modified, for instance, Allow or Block action can be set for the system rule ‘DHCP’ (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
• The WEB-filter rules of this software empower you to completely restrict access of specific websites as well as prevent potentially malicious software from being downloaded to your system
• According to your need, you can choose from three different types of scans which are: ‘Quick Scan’ for scanning critical components; ‘Full Scan’ for scanning all the drives on computer including removable media; and ‘Custom Scan’ for scanning areas selected by users
• It enables you to perform mail scanning as well; you can scan outgoing, incoming or both types of mail messages on your computer. If that is not all, it can even scan USB drives for presence of autorun files and take actions against it such as: Disable autorun and show warning message
• Scheduler reduces your manual effort to perform scans, as with this tool you can simply pre-define the type of scan and the exact time of its execution
• New and unknown malware can be detected by enabling the setting for ‘Heuristic Analysis’
