The program places great emphasis on documenting suspicious events. When a possible intrusion is detected, the program uses back-tracing techniques to provide as much information about the intruder as possible, and stores the raw data sent by the intruder in an evidence file. It sorts and displays intrusion information by attack or intruder, and even provides a graph of intruder activity. BlackICE Defender works well as a primary firewall or as an intrusion specialist working in conjunction with other firewall software. BlackICE's strength lies in its ability to recognise many different types of attacks, and it needs to be updated frequently as hackers invent news ways to gain access to your system daily.
Updates are free for a year, with an annual fee thereafter.
