With an ever-growing number of computers connected to the Internet through "always on" connections, there has been a significant increase in the number of hackers attempting to infiltrate those computers. Personal firewalls have been developed to thwart and log those attempts. As the number of attempts has risen, however, users have become increasingly confused as to the degree to which they should be concerned and what they can do in response. Who's There? Firewall Advisor works with the user's firewall to answer those questions.
Who's There? Firewall Advisor supports Open Door's DoorStop firewall, Symantec's Norton Personal Firewall, Sustainable Softworks IPNetSentry and any other firewall that uses the Macintosh-standard "WebSTAR" log format. New features of Who's There? 1.1.1 include:
The free 1.1.1 upgrade, a free evaluation version of the product itself and additional details on the product are available directly from the Who's There? Web site at http://www.opendoor.com/whosthere/ . Who's There? can also be purchased from the site, for $39. A Mac OS X version of the product (1.1) is available as well.
