Breakthrough Features for Ultimate Malware and Intrusion Defense!
http://www.privacyware.com/personal_firewall_2.html

Proactive, Multi-Layered Defense

• NEW! Complete Windows 7 (RTM) and Vista Support – Certified compatible with all versions of Vista (32 and 64 bit).
• Advanced packet filtering
  Proprietary stateful packet inspection technology monitors all communication between the PC and the Internet and detects and blocks all unauthorized traffic. Privatefirewall allows the simple adjustment of security levels (High/Low/Custom) to establish different degrees of security for Internet and Local Network access.
• Ultimate Application Control
  Highly configurable Application Control Console enables you to specify which and precisely how applications can access the Internet.
• Process Detection
  Prevents viruses, trojans, worms and other malware by tracking all trusted processes and providing alerts when any potentially malicious process attempts to run.
• System Anomaly Detection
  System Anomaly Detection Engine baselines normal usage based on system variables such as CPU utilization, thread count, and others. Normal use patterns of running applications are monitored and alerts are generated as unusual activity is detected.
• Intelligent Tray Alerts
  Compact, user-friendly tray alerts provide detailed information regarding security events, offer native web search for convenient investigation, and pre-set intelligent “time-out” responses.
• Stealth Mode
  PC is invisible when online and stealth to potential intruders.
• Port Tracking and Reporting
  All ports are monitored to prohibit unauthorized scanning and system intrusion. Detailed reports are generated on all port scan and other reconnaissance attempts in addition to instantaneous on-screen alerts.
• Email Anomaly Detection
  Privatefirewall mitigates the impact of attacks targeting email clients by tracking the volume and frequency of outbound emails. Privatefirewall alerts you and blocks unacceptable deviations from normal email activity.

Application Control and Firewall Policy Management

• Monitor all traffic to and from your PC and prevent trusted applications from being “Hi-Jacked” to steal local or network-accessible files.
• The Process Monitor adds an important layer of defense to conventional firewall protection by identifying process-level behavior characteristics of intrusion techniques and malware activity.
• Control which applications can access the Internet, and whether to permit/block every application with each usage or make permissions permanent. Specific IPs and/or Websites can be blocked or allowed access.
• Define application specific or global packet filtering rules that can be applied to incoming, outgoing or bi-directional traffic.
• View or create advanced firewall reports sorted by Web, Mail, or System access attempts spanning Hours, Days, Weeks, or customized time periods.

Unmatched Ease of Use

• Privatefirewall’s security presets deliver superior PC protection immediately upon installation. Setup and configuration are fully automatic right out of the box.
• One-click configuration of pre-defined security settings for Home, Office, and Remote profiles eliminate complicated application tuning.
• Privatefirewall conveniently detects connections to local networks and automatically sets rules that allow access within that network.
• A variety of custom configuration interfaces are easily accessible for advanced users.
• Privatefirewall is fully integrated with Windows XP Security Center.
