High quality protection is provided by the following functions: • Scanning of application protocols HTTP and POP3 (used for Internet browsing and for retrieving email from servers) for infiltrations. • Checking low-level network communication which helps to avoid many of various remote attacks. • Ability to recognize the character of network connections established by various types of infiltrations and ability to automatically terminate them. • Filtering of incoming and outgoing communication based on user defined rules. • Monitoring changes in executable files. • Interactive and automatic mode. The former enables you to create your own filtering rules, the latter filters all communication automatically.
