Publisher's Description
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.

Note from FreewareFiles: Webroot Desktop Firewall requires a free key code which can be obtained by registering with the developer. Registration is free.

  "Best free firewall for Windows Vista!"

This is by far the BEST free firewall for Windows Vista today. I´ve tried Comodo, and found it to be shockingly user-infriendly, not to say enerving - in 2 hours it listed almost 2000 alerts for "my attention", and I couldn´t see the pics of my contacts on Windows Live Messenger, even after unblocking it. I´ve tried PC Tools, and it blocked my connection completely, and crashed my computer when I clicked on Internet Explorer - thanks God I created a System Restore point, as the software hadn´t created one. Installing and setting Webroot Desktop Firewall took 5 minutes, and it feels like it isn´t there - the computer is just like before, and all apps connected easily - even though I´m still on "Training Mode". Great firewall! Really the best (free for Vista)!
