Outpost 4.0 Release Candidate available

A Release Candidate of Outpost 4.0 has been made available for public download. Please see this Outpost forum announcement for more details.

 

Hi Paranoid2000,
Thanks for the info. I will have a play with this release later.

 

Thanks for the update on this new version.

I will wait until you experts have your fun and report back. Look forward to some positive report....

 

Just hope the 4.0 RC has fixed the locale and spyware base update issue.

 

ppl who uses Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0 with Kaspersky proactive protection enabled which feature in Outpost has to be disabled?

 

looks a touch lighter,but still too many prompts,i ask than why outpost during installation says that it will automatically allow known apps.

opera,which i am using now had to go through 3 prompts even after enabling auto-rules of outpost.

 

The "anti-leak" in Outpost is a feature that will result in more prompts initially since legitimate software doing similar actions needs to be OKed by the user. If you want something prompt-free, then Outpost isn't a good choice for you.

As for Outpost's known applications, it depends on users supplying data (via the ImproveNet function) to Agnitum for them to collect checksums on the most popular. As such, a release candidate is going to have fewer (being based on limited beta testing feedback) than the final release.

 

I had a quick play,... the anti-leak is working well on the short tests I made. (OP alerted to the loading of my network monitor drivers (only SSM as alerted to this before)).

anyone?

 

In my opinion, this is the best software firewall out right now that covers the application layer. We will see if it holds it's grounds

How Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0\Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 co-works with Agnitum Outpost Firewall

I am really flabbergasted by this new Outpost release. And I am happy that I bought the lifetime key a while back. This v4 might be the best thing ever!

Impressed to the bone!

 

Got mine today. Working just fine seems to have reduced memory useage here. A very critical issue on my aging machine.

 

Do this: http://www.kaspersky.com/faq?chapter=186528170&qid=192779758 (just not to have problems with KAV's internet scanning modules), then disable Anti-Leak so that you may have only one proactive defence module (the one in KAV) .

 

Haven't used Outpost in a while. Saw the Beta and tried it out. Impressions are that this is a big improvement over previous versions. One thing though....if you have realtime antispyware enabled, it zaps around 6 - 9 % of the CPU's at all times. Memory impact also jumps to around 40,000k as well. This is too heavy.

For me I would rather run my browsers sandboxed (sandboxie) and turn off Outposts realtime antispyware. In this config, things run better in my opinion.

Anyway..great job on v4.

 

I have been using outpost for over a year now and v4 is fantastic - by far the best firewall around with significant improvements over v3. Give it a go...

 

This release candidate works very well on my computer. Still runs more smoothly than Comodo.

 

Yeah outpost 4 seems to run very good most of the time on my other computer. I do have an issue where my computer seems to slow down from time to time since installing it but i haven't fully looked into it to see if outpost is responsible for it.

 

Running as smooth as cream cheese! The Anti-Leak component is spot on so far. Looks like Agnitum may well have their finest offering to date. Can't wait for it to go gold.

 

Thats funny. While all security vendors are piling on features to compete with Norton and getting fatter in the process, Norton is now headed in the opposite direction by dropping features and well as trimming its bloat. Gotta follow the market leader.

Just like 5 years ago when Norton when the "suite" route, and everybody thought best-of-breed was best, they slowly all changed their tune and now McAfee, Zone, Kaspersky, F-Prot, Outpost, BitDefender has a suite.

 

Outpost is not a suite. It is a firewall that incorporates plug-ins, all of which can be disabled or even removed.

 

Outpost 4 is running great on my machine and I have all the plugins enabled including the realtime antispyware plugin and my cpu usage fluctuates from 0%-2% idle and memory usage is 5,800k presently.
