DefenseWall Personal Firewall is the world's first Sandbox Firewall built with innovative 'Adaptive Automatic Protection'.

DefenseWall Personal Firewall extends the power of DefenseWall HIPS based on the simple ‘trusted or untrusted’ system of protection. There is no struggling with firewall settings, user modes, ports, sockets or rules.

No Firewall or HIPS Learning Mode
No Setup of Ports and Sockets
No Unwanted Restarts
No Application Checksum Re-checks
Industry-minimum number of popup windows

Features:

Adaptive Automatic Protection
• For both Outbound and Inbound Firewall protection, there is no manual configuration or learning mode - just install on a clean system and you are ready to go! Like DefenseWall HIPS, Personal Firewall is engineered to provide outstanding protection with the average-novice user in mind.

Whitelisting - Simplified Program Setup
• Digitally signed files from trusted vendors will run from the protected "Download Areas" automatically 'As Trusted'.

Unauthorized System Restart Protection
• Malware or untrusted programs or processes may attempt system restart to take over your computer - DefenseWall will stop it – you will get a warning and have the opportunity to allow it or deny it.

Outbound Firewall
• DefenseWall Personal Firewall controls Untrusted Applications that are connecting to the Web and warns you if a program is not under the outbound rules. Trusted applications are free to go, but you can block their Internet access too, with functions that are very simple to use.

Inbound Firewall
• DefenseWall Personal Firewall automatically blocks open listening ports of all the Trusted processes. So, if you have anything that has to have their ports open, you just set it as Untrusted and that's it. The reason is simple- if this application has a vulnerability and got exploited, the circumstances can be coped by sandbox protection. If a computer is within domain, DefenseWall automatically opens 445, 135, 137,138,139 ports. This innovative "Adaptive Automatic Protection", allows you to forget about ports setup.

Also, DefenseWall Inbound Firewall supports manual ports installation mode.

Manual Mode: Standard Profiles for Advanced-Expert Use
• Direct Internet Connection
• Wireless Internet Connection
• Home/Work LAN

Profiles are preconfigured for each connection environment and Ports can be added or removed from the Inbound list. The Green Checkmark Icon indicates closed ports.

Ah, and did I mention the skinning is back?
