ESS request features

I open this thread for the request features:

GENERAL: network activity in the systray icon (like Kerio Personal Firewall or Zone Alarm)
GENERAL: option to disable (firewall/antivirus/antispam) directly in the systray icon (with right click)
FIREWALL: line color (red, white, green) for the out/in connections (like Kerio Personal Firewall)

 

Right click scan

basicly the way it handles updates when offline and firewall rules durring setup.

 

Add: Ability to open ports in firewall's Automatic filtering mode.

Would love to run in Auto , but I can't share files (torrents).
Have to switch to Interactive mode which is a whole different world.

 

GENERAL: network activity in the systray icon (like Kerio Personal Firewall or Zone Alarm)
I totally agree with this because in Vista, dial up does not have any network
activity animated icon anymore, just static icon red or green if a connection
is open but no send or receive animation...

 

Another feature I would like to see is the ability not to start the firewall module
at all during start-up. Normally, I don't connect to the internet at Windows
start-up, and if I am not connected there is no point in running the firewall as it
will just waste CPU cycles for nothing. I suggest it should automatically launch
itself when it detects that there is an attempt by the dial-up or network
connection to connect to the ISP. Normally, my OF is disabled and launch by the
dialer I have, when I attempt to connect to the internet.
BTW... There's still a lot of people in this world who are still in dial-up
connection.

 

Ability to rescan items in quarantine manually

 

1. Ability to enable or disable a rule according to the time of day (e.g. only allow Windows Live Messenger access between 6pm and 9pm Monday to Friday). (This is possible in Outpost Pro).

2. Ability to enable or disable a rule according to the currently logged in user.

 

I also would like to see an add and pop up blocker.

 

Ability to detect cookies

 

Anti Spam support for Outlook Express!

 

no thanks!

 

and thunderbird - though i was told in another thread that this is likely in a future beta

 

Features I find necessary to add:

• Leaktest protection and/or behavioral protection (registry control, injection monitoring, Integrity(DLL) control...)

Features I find not absolutely necessary but which would be nice to add :

• AD blocker (for people using multiple browsers)
• Ability to modify adresses entered (not only add/remove them) in the firewall rules
• No more hard-coded rules (deactivable presets)

 

SSL support for http/email scanning

 

Subscription expiration date.

 

ability to edit ip and portranges in firewall rules

(as said by IcePanther)

 

Show the temporary rules somewhere and allow them to be made permenent rules from there or at least if it was an accidental temporary deny to allow it instead of having to turn off the firewall to get the conncetion.

 

Ability manually add to quarantine file, deleting original one.

 

Adblocker might be Ok but what,s the use of a popup blocker. It is done by ur browser by default.

 

These would be on my list as well.... especially an AD blocker.

 

Hi,

Anyone did any "deeper"/throughout scan attepmts?


1. ESS going to have any remote connection to apply policys e.t.c.
2. Use of AD group policys, for different configs -?
3. The FW service, does it protect the system while starting up, lowlevel protection of communication layer?
4. RightClick on "taskbar" icon, to disable/enable FW and Icon changing if there are a deeper/intrusion scann going on?
5. Alert if the main services are closed down/ or an attempt is done?
6. Change / add Ip's range for the rules.

Another shout-out for this feature. It's been on the feature request list for a long, long time, well before 3.0 began development.

 

Hi.

I`d suggest the ability to exclude files and folder from real time protection as in on demand scanning.

Regards

 

A bubble to show definition date like 2.7 when you hover over symbol in systray.
