Outpost firewall password security !

May 25, 2006 0 Replies

Hello,



I am testing the firewall outpost,



I have to detect a small problem of safety: i.e. when I puts a passwords It is of course impossible to modify the configurations but when a new program tries to reach Internet it is possible to authorize the program without having to enter the password.



It is in the same way possible to Uninstall the program without authorization (passwords).



It is not very protected, because people not knowing the problem which it could has there to see with the malicious program, could by inadvertency authorize the access to the network of these dangerous programs.


I used "Zone Alarm Pro" which is made safe, each request for program access to the network , is conditioned at the entry of the good password . just as the uninstallation . but zone alarm is very avid resource, this is why I wanted to pass to another system of firewall .



The problem could it be due to my configuration or is this a limitation of program ?



Many thanks in avance



Jack Ps : sorry 4 my English
