Iolo Personal Firewall

This is the software publisher's description.

Blocks unwanted communication to and from your PC, keeping your private information safe from hackers, cyber-criminals, and identity thieves.

The proprietary IntelliDefense system takes out the guesswork normally associated with firewalls by using a comprehensive database to automatically decide which programs are safe and which are not. Now you can securely work or play without the hassle of being constantly prompted to monitor your PC’s traffic.

The IntelliDefense proprietary database holds thousands of detailed program profiles and classifications that: Allows the firewall to take the guesswork and constant prompts normally associated with Internet security by automatically permitting communication from safe and trusted programs, and blocking communication from unsafe programs. Allows you to get comprehensive information about suspicious programs attempting to communicate to or from your PC so you always know what is coming in or out, and why.

An intuitive interface lets you quickly set up varying communication security levels, designate certain computers and Web sites as "trusted", block or allow access for specific applications, and much more.
