OUTPOST FIREWALL PRO SUPPORTS MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 2
Surfing the web can be quite an adventure today. Along with practical
information and fast communication, users also find plenty of trouble:
viruses, Trojans, spyware and worms that crash systems and intrude on
privacy. However, users also benefit from the improvements made in security
software development, which give more protection from Internet dangers and
more peace-of-mind.
The upcoming 2.5 version of Outpost Firewall Pro will operate seamlessly
with Windows XP SP2 and provide customers with updated support. "Outpost
Firewall Pro's mission is to protect customers from dangers peculiar to web
surfing," said Mikhail Zakhryapin, managing director of Agnitum Ltd. "We are
confident that the work we've done with Microsoft to integrate Outpost
Firewall Pro within Windows XP Service Packet 2 will allow our customers to
enjoy the benefits of a more secure PC experience. This co-operation with
Microsoft will benefit users, and we recommend that our customers install
Windows XP Service Pack 2. In general, we think that this is a very useful
technology since it makes more users aware of the problems and threats of
Internet communication."
Windows Security Center simplifies access to and configuration of Windows
Firewall as well as provides visibility to Outpost Firewall Pro. In
addition, Outpost Firewall Pro implements additional features for Internet
Explorer content filtering with SP2 and helps users control and reduce
unwanted ads and content.
"Microsoft is pleased to be working with Agnitum to deliver an easy to use
and more secure computing experience to our customers," said Neil Charney,
director, Windows Product Management at Microsoft. "The integration of
Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro within he Windows Security Center feature of
Windows XP Service Pack 2, is one example of how industry collaboration is
helping to combat the challenges associated with online threats."

AGNITUM STARTS A NEW PARTNERSHIP IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Roughly 68 million Chinese citizens regularly access the Web. However, the
majority of Chinese computers are infected by viruses, according to a survey
conducted by the public information network security supervision bureau of
the Ministry of Public Security. These security breaches could have
disastrous consequences, as the survey indicated that computer viruses are
still the main threat to China's information network security.
A new security solution is now available to Chinese and other Southeast
Asian users. Agnitum Ltd., developer of Outpost Personal Firewall Pro and
Tauscan, has signed a distribution agreement with Hong Kong reseller Version
2 Limited to market Outpost Firewall Pro in China, Hong-Kong, Taiwan and
Macao. Outpost will be sold through the online store at
http://www.version-2.com/ and also as a retail and corporate version.
Version 2 Limited will provide users with support in Chinese and English
through their Web site at
http://www.version-2.com/. Outpost is also
available at
http://www.outpost.com.hk/ .
"Having access to this market is highly important to us. We are also happy
to assist Version 2 Limited in providing the Southeast Asian online
population with better security and thus prevent fast spreading dangers,"
said Mikhail Zakhryapin.

PC PRO MAGAZINE RECOMMENDS OUTPOST FIREWALL PRO
Outpost Firewall Pro was selected as a "Recommended" product by the British
edition of the PC PRO magazine. Outpost was claimed to be "the best
standalone firewall". "If all you are looking for is solid software firewall
protection then it boils down to personal interface preference, support
issues and impact on system resources. Outpost wins on this last count and
matches ZoneAlarm on the others", reads the review. The editorial verdict is
: "We have no hesitation in recommending it as our standalone firewall
product of choice".

Вот что я прочитал: 
А как насчет исходящих от Proxomitron. Я так понимаю opera теперь будет через него работать. И непосредственно доступ к инет будет иметь Proxomitron, а не опера. И запросы от operы должны уходить в сеть через Proxomitron. 
Их обязательно надо просматривать и редактировать. В свое время нашел подробный пример на _http://forum.five.mhost.ru/ ветку точно не помню.
