What can you buy for ten dollars? It would be difficult to buy a large pizza for ten dollars, let alone much else. However, for a limited time it is possible to buy one of the best firewalls on the market. Those who have been online for a while will remember the Kerio Personal Firewall. Kerio is now a part of the Sunbelt Software product line and is called Sunbelt Personal Firewall. The Sunbelt people are the security experts who offer VIPRE, the anti-virus and anti-spyware program that has been featured on these pages.

This firewall has received high ratings from publications such as PC Magazine. In addition, it is recommended by security people because it looks at both incoming and outgoing traffic from your computer:

“The Windows firewall (both XP and Vista) is worse than useless: it gives you a false sense of security. Why? The XP version only filters incoming traffic — period. The Vista version only blocks incoming traffic when using default settings. Since most average users won’t know how to enable the settings in Vista to block the outgoing traffic as well, it’s not much better than the XP counterpart. That means if malware has compromised your PC, it is able to send out all your personal info. That’s right! The Windows ‘firewall’ does not stop it.”

If the latest malware, spyware, trojan, rootkit, or other infection does penetrate your computer defenses, it may be possible to monitor outgoing traffic and prevent a serious security breach. It is, indeed, another line of defense — and not all firewalls are the same. This generous offer is for one of the best firewall products on the market.

From now until April 22nd, you can buy Sunbelt Personal Firewall for yourself, for only ten dollars! Make sure you use coupon code SPFLOCKERGNOME when ordering. This is over fifty percent off the original price!
