    How to make outpost firewall (free) work in W7 !


    hi !

    how to do it:
    run the *INSTALLATION* in compatibility-mode for Vista SP1.

    i´m running it now, looks OK so far, no errormessages yet...

    i´ve tested it with Gibsons "Security test", and "Leaktest", and it passed.

    hi !

    i´ve tested it with Gibsons "Security test", and "Leaktest", and it passed.

    https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

    i have been running tests for the last couple of hours, i have tested it with Comodos "Leaktests", and after making some small adjustments it´s now almost "waterproof".

    http://download.comodo.com/securitytests/All_tests.zip

    now i have 2 leak-problems left to fix.

    i also tested Comodos own (free) firewall with their "Leaktest-package", and it had more leaks, (4 or 5) cant´t remember now,
    i´m tired...

    it got 300 (290 ?) out of 340 points.

    Outpost got 320 points, so it seems to be doing a good job.

    Hmmm - I have a license for Outpost Paid version as an admin from another forum - I might try it out on Win 7 in a Virtual Machine....

    Thanks for the info.

    Does Outpost Firewall Free really work? I downloaded, and it wouldn't even so much as launch the installer.

    hi !

    YES !

    it works, read my posting:
    "how to do it:
    run the *INSTALLATION* in compatibility-mode for Vista SP1"

    have you done that ?

    are you using W7 RC ?

    i don´t know if it works with W7 beta.

    Just tried your instructions on RC 7127 but using the Pro version didn't work for me.
