Like most advanced PC firewalls, Outpost goes beyond monitoring internet traffic and also monitors application behavior in an attempt to stop malicious software covertly infecting Windows systems. Agnitum calls this technology "Component Control" and "Anti-Leak Control" (included into HIPS-based "Host Protection" module). The product also includes a spyware scanner and monitor, together with pop-up blocker/spyware filter for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (Outpost's web surfing security tools include black-lists for IPs and URLs, unwanted web page element filters and ad-blocking. The technology altogether is known as "Web control"). Version 7.5 and newer add new techniques to help PC users block unknown/new threats before their activation: * ''Removable media protection'' (so-called "USB Virus Protection", part of the ''Proactive Protection'' module) — non-signature auto-run vulnerability with 5-level blocking of USB/CD/DVD storages auto-run files launch. * ''SmartDecision technology'' (so-called "Personal Virus Adviser", basis of the ''Proactive Protection'' module) — non-signature detection technology to facilitate decision-making process while security issues. 5-level ranging for starting processes/executing files is applied. Version 8 introduces further improvements as well as full Windows 8 compatibility and a redesigned user interface;v.8 also has extended x64 HIPS support. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outpost Firewall Pro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
