Because it gives me parental control, control over the appearance of adverts, cookie use, email filtering, multi-user configuration (on one PC), better leak protection & more. The supposed benefits of the pro version are listed here: http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/benefitspro.html The only reason I haven't switched to the free version is that it crashed my XP based laptop after installation - however, Agnitum do warn of this being a potential clash between the DLL's of competing firewalls (I didn't want to uninstall KPF I just disabled it). PS: Some last minute checking on the web turned up this interesting article on leak testing: http://www.pcflank.com/art21.htm - it contradicts what I had heard elsewhere about Agnitum Outpost being better than KPF at leak tests though the other things still apply. In reality, I wont allow my children to connect directly to the Internet without supervision until I know they are old enough to deal with the issues - the appalling stuff that turns up in innocent web searches and delivered to my email continues to convince me of this. Sorry again about the OT, I'll turn off my evangelist mode now!
