Operating System Firewall (OSFirewall™)

Additional Layers

Multiple layers of advanced protection provide unsurpassed security.

• Parental Control – filters and blocks inappropriate websites in over 30 categories; scans uncategorized websites to determine appropriateness.

• Web Browser & Plug-in Exploit Protection – Each time you visit a website, open a new page, or download a file, everything that could attack you or your PC goes to a temporary, virtual version of your browser. That way, if any threats do penetrate your defenses, only the temporary browser is infected. Not your computer.
