Operation Manual

Plug-Ins

You can restore the program and add it to the Ignore list to make Outpost Firewall Pro not

treat it as a spyware by selecting the command on the item’s shortcut menu. You can also

remove the item permanently by clicking the Delete link by its side. To clear the

Quarantine entirely, use the corresponding command on the plug-in's shortcut menu.

Note: Not every spyware program can be placed into quarantine.

Outpost Firewall Pro lets you specify personal data that is never allowed to be transmitted

by your computer through Internet browsers, instant messaging software, e-mail clients or

any other applications. This provides protection against identity theft through the abuse of

credit card account details, passwords, or other unique and valuable personal information.

To protect your private data, select the ID Block tab of the plug-in properties window, and

select the Block private data transfer check box. Click Add and under Data to protect

enter any combination of symbols, letters or digits you do not want to leak from your

computer. Specify the description to identify the string later and the category it regards to.

After clicking OK and applying changes, that string will be blocked from any outgoing

communication.

You can set to display alerts each time an attempt to transfer one of the specified strings to

the network is performed by selecting the Show visual alert check box. If you select the

Replace transferred ID with asterisks instead of blocking check box, any requester will

receive only the "*" symbols which replace the original entry.
