I checked it out. It seems like a decent product for a standalone machine and intigrates with Windows Defender. Built in features are defrag, antivrus, removes temp files and will do backups all in one session automatically. But your right about the cost. about $50.00 after the beta offer which ends April 30th and it can be used on up to 3 machines. But it lacks in the Firewall Admin department for monitoring and logging (not much good in a network) however they really improved the Firewall as compared to windows firewall in SP2. It does provide for both inbound and outbound control of ports. I think it can do port forwarding also.
