BlackICE Defender scans your DSL, cable modem, or dial-up Internet connection looking for hacker activity. When it detects an attempted intrusion, it automatically blocks traffic from that source, keeping intruders from accessing your system.

BlackICE has been recognized in the industry for its superior technology with 9 prestigious awards in the last year since its launch. It is built around the same technology as our corporate products. Now every Internet user can afford corporate-strength protection for their home and small office systems.

Key Features:

Unmatched Intrusion Defense
Unlike other personal firewalls, BlackICE Defender includes a powerful Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that understands hacker activity and identifies attacks that firewalls alone miss.

BlackICE Defender's IDS engine scans all inbound and outbound traffic on your computer looking for malicious code and activity. When it detects an attack, the firewall jumps-in and automatically blocks traffic from that source, leaving legitimate traffic unaffected. All this happens in real-time without slowing down your Internet experience.

Comprehensive Back-Trace and Identification
BlackICE Defender performs the most comprehensive back-trace to find the origins of an attack and reveal the hacker's identity. The attacker's IP Address is identified as well as Node, Group, NetBIOS, DNS, and MAC Address when available.

Simple Setup and Configuration
BlackICE comes with preset security levels for automatic firewall configuration. You don't need to be a security expert to block-out uninvited guests. BlackICE begins protecting your system the moment you install it. Customized configuration is also available for advanced users.

Easy-to-Understand Alerts
BlackICE Defender provides color-coded alerts, as well as optional audible alerts, to inform you of the importance of the potential threat at a glance. BlackICE also combines attacks from the same source into one entry to simplify viewing.

Comprehensive advICE
BlackICE Defender provides detailed explanations of every attack with one click on the advICE button. The integrated advICE web access gives you instantaneous information about all attacks and alerts found by BlackICE Defender.

Evidence Logging
BlackICE Defender can log hostile or malicious data in case you want to store evidence of an attack.
