You start an application that tells you that a new version is available. You suddenly realize that with every start this application connects to the developer's server.

Even statistics information about your computer may be sent this way. Little Snitch helps you avoid this situation.

Little Snitch can even deny network connections to certain servers.

Trojan horses - i.e. programs transmitting unconsciously data stored on your computer - can be detected by Little Snitch and prevented on the transmission of data.

Little Snitch provides flexible configuration options, allowing you to grant specific permissions to your trusted applications or to prevent others from establishing particular Internet connections at all.

So you will only be warned in those cases that really need your attention.

Here are some key features of "Little Snitch":

￭ Prevents applications from "phoning home".
￭ Protects you from trojans, worms, and other network parasites.
￭ Shows which applications send information over the internet.
￭ Provides a higher level of security for the paranoid.


Limitations:

￭ The demo version will quit after 3 hours of operation.
