Fort Firewall is a firewall application might not bring something new to the table per se, but it offers plenty of detailed functions as opposed to the original MS Windows ones. Protecting your computer against threats on the internet usually means one has to filter internet access more strictly. What better way to do that if not by using a firewall? Windows comes packed with a firewall by default. If you're not satisfied with it and are looking for more ways to control and monitor your PC's access to the internet, Fort Firewall could be one particular way to go.
