Press Release Body = ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, 27 Sep. 2006 - The computer security
experts at Agnitum Ltd. today announced the launch of Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0.

This new version of the award-winning software provides home, small-office and
mobile corporate users with powerful protection against spyware, keyloggers,
Trojans, hackers, identity theft, rootkits, wireless network hijacking, and other
Internet-borne attacks.

Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 is available immediately worldwide for US$39.95, including
updates for one year, by download from www.agnitum.com. Customers may also purchase
the software through the company's global network of resellers and distributors. A
full list of resellers may be found here. Trial versions may also be downloaded from
official website. The software runs under Windows XP, x64, 2000, 98 and ME and is
available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.

Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 delivers this high level of protection with a range of new
and improved tools, including support for 64-bit operating systems.

Strengthened anti-leak functionality, preventing all known methods for
stealing information from a user's PC by Trojans, spyware and adware that exploit
operating system holes. With version 4, users may customize permissions and
restrictions on outbound data transfers by any application attempting to gain
control of another, attempting to launch a browser, or attempting to use the memory
space of a trusted application.

Spyware protection now blocks all known malicious applications. Additional
protection against unknown malicious applications has been added with the forced
scanning of all applications before they are permitted to execute. System
performance is unaffected.

ImproveNet is enhanced. The community that brings Outpost users and Agnitum
security experts together to share configurations now automatically distributes
verified rules to protect against the latest threats. Version 4 adds a new set of
rules to govern local application interactions on the user's PC, giving a greater
level of control over local processes that prevent hijacking of legitimate
applications.

Improved usability. Version 4 introduces a new "Entertainment Mode" for users
playing online games, watching movies or engaging in other activities on the PC that
they don't want interrupted. Advanced users may also apply macro definitions to
customize adaptive firewall rules.

Self-protection technology prevents Outpost from being deactivated by
viruses, Trojans or spyware.
