Product Description:

Little Snitch tells you when a program tries to send info to the internet. If you do not like the idea of information possibly being gathered from your computer and being sent to who-knows-where for who-knows-what, Little Snitch helps. When an application tries to establish a network connection, Little Snitch intercepts the attempt and brings up an alert panel giving you all the connection details including the name of the application, which initiated the connection. You either choose to allow the connection, to deny it or to add a permanent rule for similar future connections.

Little Snitch Highlights

Prevents applications from "phoning home".
Protects you from spy ware like trojans, worms, and other network parasites.

When new connections are asked for it takes minutes for the rule to take effect and the allow changes padlock keeps locking itself after being unlocked. This is the first time I've had trouble with this application ever. Mac Pro 10.6.1 10Gb RAM

Still not functioning properly in Leopard - Version: 2.2, 9/28/2009 04:33PM PST

This is still not functioning properly in Leopard (10.5.8). Will not register Quicken 2007 as an application?
