Outpost 2009 Free or Pro

Toby also in our pms I did not know you were on Vista
I am also not using Vista I am still an acient guy with Windows XP Pro

 

OK -- no worries.

 

Hi Toby,

if unsure on a setting, just set it to "Use Global" (Prompt). If after several days use you are not alerted on a particular Action, you can probably set it to "Block"

 

Now I know what "Use Global" means.

 

I can't use either one of them.It installs then when it reboots it asks to enter the key. When I try to click on it the pc and Outpost stop responding.

When I deinstall OP in safe mode .My PC works again. What can I do? Is it Vista SP2?

I also deinstalled NOd32 thought it might help. But nothing.

And I have super anti-spyware on my machine and Malwarebytes.But both only on-demand. Should be fine right?

 

Does one need to pay yearly for the Anti-Spyware signature updates with the Lifetime license?

Thank you,
Acadia

 

Never mind, I just downloaded the Quick Startup Guide and it answered my question, thanks.

Acadia

 

Just installed Outpost Pro Beta on Win7 x64 along side Avira Premium and webpages stopped loading Removed Outpost, all well again.

 

Hi Acadia,
in the Quick Startup Guide there is no info about the lifetime licenses.
With a normal license you get a perpetual/lifelong license (you can use the product as long as you like) and an upgrade license (you can upgrade and get signature updates for the period of the agreement).

With a lifetime license you pay only once, for both signatures and future upgrades.

Page 11: When you buy an Outpost Firewall Pro license, you actually get two licenses:
• A license for Outpost Firewall Pro usage (lifelong);
• A license for free upgrades and support for one year (including the latest Outpost Firewall Pro
versions).
In a year you can either buy a renewal license for another year of upgrades and support (Annual Update
and Support contract) or simply continue using your last updated version of Outpost Firewall Pro. To
purchase a renewal, visit this page: http://www.agnitum.com/purchase/renewal/index.php.

That info does not apply to lifetime licences; only to normal ones.

Panagiotis

 

So lifetime and lifelong means two different things?

Acadia

 

Yes.

lifelong = perpetual, e.g. you can use the version 6.x which you paid, for as long as you like.

lifetime = free upgrades as long as outpost firewall exists.

Panagiotis

 

OK, pandlouk, thanks.

Acadia

 

Ok, so I purchased what was advertised as Lifetime on the website. How does that relate then to the anti-Spyware signature updates, in other words, I guess I am back to square one, my original question.

Acadia

 

You will continue to get signature updates and product upgrades for "ever" (for the lifetime of the product).

Panagiotis

 

If you really like a product is always a great deal to get a lifetime license. If I am not mistaken Agnitum has offered 2-3 times in the past lifetime licenses.

Exactly. It means that a product is not time-bombed.

Panagiotis

 

Wow, thanks again pandlouk, that deal on their website then was quite a good one.

Acadia

 

Acadia, you scored a great deal!!

 

Is it ok to tell Outpost to "auto-train for a week"? I'm thinking it might help solve some problems I've had.

 

If you're 100% sure your system is clean, then yes. If not, then no. Why? If malware is present, since it is in auto-train, then rules will also be created for those malware.

The best approach is to set it, if you want it that way, to automatically create rules for well-known and digitally signed applications. That takes out from you most of the alerts you'd see in the more furtive mode, if I may call it that way.

So, unless you're 100% your system is clean, do not.

 

I'm almost sure there's no malware, but since I've had internet loss and system freezes using auto-create, maybe try training for a couple hours. That might be safer than a week.

 

In my opinion,using auto-creat is not very safe.Because now some viruses can forge a signature.It is deadful.

 

Outpost doesn't only check if the application has a digital signature. It also checks for checksum, name and path, as far as I know.
