BETA (October 26, 2006)

Windows 2000/2003/XP / Freeware / 3,945 downloads

Core Force is the first community oriented security solution for personal computers. It is free and provides a comprehensive endpoint security solution for Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems. The security framework provided is leveraged by a community of security experts that share their security configurations for a growing list of programs. These security profiles can be downloaded by any user from the community Web site and they're also completely open so that they can be peer-reviewed to minimize security hazards. The community approach to endpoint security also allows end-users who are not security experts to work in a secure environment.

    This baby is the real deal. Probably the best free software firewall out there. If you used TPF you will find it relatively easy to transition to this.

    Contrary to the previous poster's remarks, I find the security functions of this app to be better than TPF.

    Coreforce is truly a beta, dont expect complete security.
    Maybe in one oder two years this one can be a seriously firewall, but atm dont trust it to much.

    Thist firewall might be hard for beginners, but can be fun to learn.

    If you are looking for a seriously firewall with high level of security, try tiny personal firewall.

    It offers more protection that Sygate's excellent (but no longer supported) Personal Firewall.

    Core Force's firewall will actually allow you to control what directories and registry areas an application has access to, in addition to the expected management of TCP/IP connections, a la Sygate.

    Very promising...but how does it compare to Sygate Personal Firewall?

    Very promising software. Good framework, runs as advertised. However, user interface needs a LOT of work. Also, need a [better] interactive learning mode. Right-clicking on event log entry and selecting "add permission" seems to have no effect - the action is still denied. Some extensions were broken in Firefox.
    Very good start, but I will wait for the next version. :)
