Defensewall; is it any good ? It appears the site has been hacked.

Per google warning and URL.

 

Superb protection for a 32bit machine,

 

Obsolete and abandonned Apps, its dev works for Avast now, if my memory is good. Move on...

 

@Peter2150 , @guest ,

Ok thanks. It's just that someone recommended that product ...

 

Stay away. There are plenty of modern alternatives.

 

Back in it's day, Defencewall was an excellent choice.

 

Defensewall was a very good solution in its age, I was a fan of the concept.

Nowdays I consider Comodo Firewall 10 with Cruelsister settings a spiritual successor to Defensewall Personal Firewall ...

 

DefenseWall...Lots of Memories...

 

Despite I was a supern00b (still I am lol) about security topics and programs, I had plenty of fun translating its interface to Spanish.

 

Yes! I still have a lifetime license.

 

Same here. Mine was 100-year license for being a beta tester. Checked their forum and there have been no new posts in almost three years. I recall Ilya would not try to make for a 64 bit version of DefenseWall because of Microsoft's Patchguard.
Programs like DefenseWall and ProcessGuard were ahead of their time but only appealed to Internet security enthusiasts like us.

 

I sure remember those days

 

from google translate
https://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=en&u=http://www.softsphere.com/&prev=search

lot of "kysq" links to several suspicious sites.
the links contain redirects, those are not the final target. (my redirect remover is showing it)

 

I'll ask: what are modern, equivalent alternatives ?

 

any HIPS using restriction-based sandbox. Comodo is the closest.

 

So, I do have.
