BitDefender's FireWall in the Security Suite isn't Keeping YOU safe - here's why...

BitDefender, I have tested your firewall with the GRC's Firewall Leak Test available here:

http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm

When LeakTest.exe tried to connect, it was denied, meaning that BitDefender's firerwall had

blocked the test, which is good. However, I gave a program called Trillian rights to

connect and act as a server. I renamed the original Trillian.exe to Trillian-orig.exe. I

then renamed LeakTest.exe to Trillian.exe and ran it. Unfortunately, it was given full

permission, showing that the firewall could not block GRC's leak test. This is bad because

if a virus were to rename an exe program that is given full access to the internet, it would

be allowed. If each program were assigned a "Cryptographic Signature" by your firewall,

this would fix the issue. If that file tries to connect, this signature is then regenerated

and compared before any program of that name is again allowed access. This completely

prevents this simple form of trusted program impersonation, but NO OTHER FIREWALLS OFFER

THIS CAPABILITY EXCEPT ZoneAlarm. Therefore, I strongly insist that your firewall is

upgraded to meet all of GRC's standards as a firewall. I also request as a feature request

that your firewall show how many intrusions have been blocked. Until this firewall is

updated and improved, I don't think I'll use it.

From this test, you are not safe when using BitDefender's firewall!!
