A
computer without a firewall is easy prey for hackers, worms, remote
access Trojans and other online threats. Anti-spyware and virus
protection are only a part of any security solution. A firewall is a
critical component, and Webroot Desktop Firewall secures your computer
from Internet threats and reduces the risks of being a victim of online
crimes. Unlike the Windows XP and Vista Firewall, Webroot Desktop
Firewall combines intelligent firewall technology with intrusion
prevention for inbound and outbound protection that is both powerful
and easy to use.

Designed for novices and experts alike, Webroot Desktop Firewall is the gatekeeper to your PC.

* Monitors Internet traffic in and out of your PC for better protection

* Makes your PC invisible to online scammers looking for easy targets

* Prevents remote access Trojans from hijacking your PC

What's New in Version 5.5

* New intelligent, "learning" firewall. It "watches" what you do;
then learns from your activity to only interrupt you for abnormal
activity.

* Windows Vista Compatible. Version 5.5 provides superior
protection to the basic firewall features found in Windows XP and
Vista, and will not cause conflicts with those features.

* Stronger multi-layer intrusion prevention. Its multiple layers
of security include desktop firewall, port manager, URL filter, process
monitor, and application/system anomaly detection.
