Hi malware fighters,

Have a software firewall installed, how is it doing in the ranking?

Outpost is on Outpost Firewall 2008 version 5 equivalent and the results are for version 3.5 so as Bob mentions the tests are old and if there is one thing worse than no data it is data that is out of date or just plain wrong.
