Product Description:

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.
Shows which applications send information over the internet.

Upgrades from previous versions are free.

What's new in this version:

Voice alerts for applications running in full screen mode like games. For connections initiated by applications running in full screen we can't show the Little Snitch alert panel. Therefor you will informed by an voice alert over the connection attempt and the connection will be automatically denied. You can manually add a rule to allow network from your full screen applications from within the Little Snitch preference pane.
Improved "local network" detection especially on systems connected over Airport. You will not longer pestered by Little Snitch alerts after changing your location.
Improved durability against modified permissions by adding an automatic permission check for all Little Snitch components.
Improved Installer.

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

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