As a condition for accessing my employer's network from home, I had to have approved anti-virus and firewall apps installed on my home PCs.
They gave out copies of Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Protection Agent, but I'm changing jobs and the SPA wants to talk to an update server on my current employer's network from time to time and I won't have access to it any more.
Both SAV and SPA are rather intrusive and resource intensive, but I like SPA's ability to selectively prevent apps from making outbound network connections, so I'd like to have a replacement that has that feature. Cheap (or free) would be a nice feature too.
Any suggestions for a software firewall with the ability to selectively block outbound connection attempts?
