NetBarrier X5 contains a powerful firewall that filters data as it enters and leaves your Mac. You can use one of the program's built-in firewall settings, or create your own rules for more precise needs. NetBarrier X5 blocks all undesirable traffic, ensuring that hackers can't get into your Mac.
NetBarrier X5's Antivandal watches over your Mac's network activity, looking for signs of intrusion. If it detects any suspicious activity, NetBarrier X5 stops the intruder and displays an alert. The Antivandal also protects against spyware, alerting you of any application that tries to create a network connection, or "phone home".
NetBarrier X5 lets you protect personal data; the program filters all outgoing data to ensure that no sensitive information leaves your computer. NetBarrier X5 also blocks ad banners, and lets you surf anonymously.
With NetBarrier X5's activity gauges, you can see your network traffic in real time. Other functions show you essential information about your Mac, your network and the services and connections that are active. You can also use a separate application, NetBarrier Monitor, and the NetBarrier screen saver, to keep an eye on your network traffic at all times.
Washing Machine: Cleans up your Internet programs
NetBarrier X5 includes a separate program named Washing Machine that further protects your privacy by helping you delete information about your Internet habits. It provides an easy way to remove bookmarks, cookies, caches, download histories and browsing histories for more than two dozen programs that regularly store such information, and can be set to periodically "clean" those items for effortless protection.
Washing Machine lets you:
Clean five types of information: bookmarks, browsing history, caches, cookies and download history.
Schedule cleaning routines so your personal information gets wiped regularly.
Create cleanlists to quickly and securely clean the information you choose.
