Ashampoo Firewall
Heavy-duty Protection for Everyone
Full protection without confusing jargon
You probably know that you need a firewall program
to use the Internet safely. In addition to
protecting you against attacks from the Internet, a
good firewall will also tell you when programs
installed on your computer are trying to phone home
and enable you to prevent them from doing it. This
is something that Windows® own firewall doesn’t do,
and it’s essential for identifying and stopping the
activities of many malicious virus and spyware
programs. For example, this enables you to prevent
your computer from being turned into a “zombie”
controlled by spammers or destructive hackers.
Small and efficient instead of big and confusing
If you don’t have a degree in computer science,
using a firewall program can be quite frustrating.
In addition to all the confusing jargon, current
firewalls are getting to be very big programs.
Sometimes you have the feeling that you’re
installing an entire office suite instead of a basic
network tool.
The brand-new Ashampoo FireWall is different. It’s
Configuration Assistant guides you through every
step of the the simple setup process. And Easy Mode
makes using it a breeze – you don’t need any special
technical knowledge and everything is explained
clearly.
Ashampoo FireWall is also amazingly compact. Even
with its four additional security tools it’s a tiny
program that uses very little memory and computer
resources. You get the heavy-duty protection without
heavyweight overload on your system.
Self-explanatory user interface
Ashampoo has years of experience in making programs
simple to use. The Ashampoo FireWall user interface
explains itself, every step of the way. The
information is right there on the screen where you
need it, so that most users will never need to
consult the help. But detailed help is also there
when you need it.
Activate expert features if you need them
This doesn’t mean that Ashampoo FireWall is a
lightweight program. On the contrary, it has a full
range of expert features if you want to use them –
just activate Expert Mode and you’re ready to go.
For example, in Expert Mode you can create detailed
