Agnitum 50% Off Sale

[Innuendo]

Don't know if anyone has been considering any of Agnitum's products lately & are on the fence, but while checking out their site today (http://www.agnitum.com) I see they are having a sale:

Outpost Pro Antivirus - $14.97 reg. $29.95

Outpost Pro Firewall - $19.97 reg. $39.95

Outpost Pro Security Suite - $24.97 reg. $49.95

All seem to be 1 year / 3 user licenses.

Thanks for the info. It's always good to keep options open.

I've been a Tall Emu/Online Armor customer, but they were just sold to Emsisoft. Hopefully the OA firewall doesn't change too much or I *could* switch to Outpost.

sajman, I always get nervous when my favorite software packages get sold to other companies. You never know if you are going to end up under the draconian rule of another Electronic Arts or a Symantec.

Because Emsisoft already were handling the support of Online Armor, I expect it to be safe to trust the future of it. But of course it is hard to know if the truth is different from the quote:

Emsisoft is primarly known for our Anti-Malware products. Two years ago we started marketing and selling the German version of the Online Armor firewall from Tall Emu, who are based in Australia. Both the positive feedback from our customers and excellent cooperation with Tall Emu led us to proudly announce that Emsisoft has taken over the support and development of Online Armor, including aquiring all of its developers.

But they start out all right with an offer to bundle:

I agree and hope any changes to product lines will be gradual. It seems Mike Nash (Tall Emu) has considerable respect for Christian Mairoll (Emsisoft) and trusts him to take care of OA software.
