Core Force firewall

CORE FORCE is the first community oriented security solution for personal
computers. CORE FORCE is free and provides a comprehensive endpoint
security solution for Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems.

The security framework provided by CORE FORCE is leveraged by a community
of security experts that share their security configurations for a
growing list of programs. These security profiles can be downloaded by
any user of CORE FORCE from the community Web site and they're also
completely open so that they can be peer-reviewed to minimize security
hazards. The community approach to endpoint security also allows end-
users who are not security experts to work in a secure environment.

CORE FORCE can be used to:

* Protect your computer from compromises by worms, virus and email-
borne malware
* Prevent your computer from being used as a staging point to amplify
attacks and compromise others
* Prevent exploitation of known bugs in the operating system and
applications running on your computer
* Prevent exploitation of unknown bugs (0-day) in the operating
system and applications running on your computer
* Detect and prevent execution of adware, spyware, trojan horses and
other malware on you computer

CORE FORCE provides inbound and outbound stateful packet filtering for
TCP/IP protocols using a Windows port of OpenBSD's PF firewall, granular
file system and registry access control and programs' integrity
validation. These capabilities can be configured and enforced system-wide
or on a per-application basis for specific programs such as email
readers, Web browsers, media players, messaging software, etc.

BTW this is not just a firewall. Nor is it for the faint hearted. As
stated it gives granular control over file system and registry access
control.

You set up policies so your browsers are restricted to what things they
can do, which folders they can acccess, which registry keys they can
change, and not just network control.

The ultimate security software if you can figure out how to use it!
