Privacyware Announces Immediate Availability Of Privatefirewall 3.0 Personal Firewall And Intrusion Detection Solution

Latest Personal Firewall Sets Highest Standards For Security, Ease Of Use And Affordability

RED BANK, NJ -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 05/14/2002 -- Privacyware, the security and privacy solutions unit of PWI, Inc. today announced availability of version 3 of Privatefirewall, the latest release of the company's popular Internet security solution for desktop and mobile PCs. Privatefirewall 3.0 delivers unmatched online security, simple “out-of-the-box” performance, easy advanced configuration, and the lowest price among its peers.

Privatefirewall protects Internet users from hackers and the variety of techniques they use to infiltrate or take control of a PC, including Trojans, spyware, denial of service clients, and other malicious code. Privatefirewall also combats IP spoofing and unlike most other personal firewalls, blocks non-standard (non-winsock) outgoing packets that are commonly used for unauthorized access.

“Privatefirewall 3.0 continues to gain in popularity because of our rapid response to the key concerns of our novice and advanced client community,” stated Greg Salvato, PWI CEO. “Performance and customization features are paramount, followed by ease of use and affordability. We remain dedicated to delivering the most advanced endpoint security solution for Internet users discouraged by increasingly complicated offerings that are often ineffective, rising in cost, and bloated with ancillary features unrelated to security.”

Privatefirewall 3.0 offers significant enhancements in user interface, firewall configuration, and application control functionality. Privatefirewall delivers instant airtight protection through the default installation, but enables advanced configuration through intuitive interfaces to support even the most complex desktop and mobile computing environments.

Privatefirewall is now available for single user download for $29.95 at www.privacyware.com/download. Enterprise licensing is also available. For more information and a complete list of features, visit www.privacyware.com/features, email info@privacyware.com, or call 732-212-8110.
