    I had an issue with OP Pro ver 7.5.1 last September about blocking sites and some nasty freeware that keeps calling their home site. I visited the Agnitum forums but I also found similar events such as mine. I also observed that OP got so noisy now well mauybe because of the Proactive but it seemed something in the likes of the old Comodo ver4 pop-ups. Well I contended with it for a time though.

    But the thing that made me try another was the "URL blocking and nasty freeware that keeps calling their home site". I tried to remove/re-install a couple of times. Then it would work for days or so and then it's at it again. As if the settings I make are not there..really doesn't work especially the calling home part. Darn software connects when I exit the program.

    Even had some fluke about the URL blocking wherein the URL was placed in the settings and then it still connected to the site BUT when using google search (clicking the link from the search containing the blocked URL/site) Outpost will block it! Now that's something new! There it was side-by-side the tab which connected to the blocked site and then the site from the google search that was blocked by Outpost! Removed/re-installed again and like the same event I had it would return to allowing the blocks I set. Seems to be an anti-leak problem or what...?

    I was to post there at the Agnitum forums but I said to myself "wait for replies to the events like yours.." but sadly as I waited there was none and more events like that emerged anew. Removed it last November and waiting for the new version.

    Might be a different case for others but in mine I really got frustrated. I remember version 6 was great going to version 7 but the latest made me look the other way. just me here

    sorry to know that.

    I have also noticed Outpost blocking links/sites at time, though I never re-installed it...and hence it's been on my laptop for 11 months now.

    Good news: new version 7.5.2 is coming in January
