Windows Firewall Control 4.0.2.2

Published October 9, 2013 by Download Software

Windows Firewall Control is a nifty little application which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click:

High Filtering – All outgoing connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
Medium Filtering – Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can initiate outgoing connections.
Low Filtering – Outgoing connections that do not match a rule are allowed. You can block the programs you do not want to initiate outgoing connections.
No Filtering – Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.

Features:

Just one small executable file. All features are packed in the same file.
Full support for executing tasks from standard user accounts.
Intuitive and easy accessible interface in the system tray.
Allow or block a program to connect to the internet with just one mouse click.
Shell integration into the right click context menu of the executable files.
Quick access to edit Windows Firewall rules directly from the program interface.
Choose if you want the program to start at user logon.
Import and export the policy of the program.
Protection to unauthorized uninstallation.
Possibility to restore previous settings at uninstallation.
Check for a new version from the program interface.
And many more… Just give it a try.

System Requirements:

Operating System: Windows All Version
Language: English-US
License: Shareware
Author: BiniSoft.org

Changelog:

New: Added Local Addresses field in Manage Rules window. Useful for scenarios in which exist multiple network adapters on the same machine.
Updated: The Properties dialog from where a rule can be modified was changed and rearranged into only one tab to see all properties in the same place.
Updated: The recommended rule for Windows Update does work anymore because Windows Update uses a different service for checking for updates. It was updated with a generic rule for svchost.exe that will allow Windows Update.
Fixed: Notification dialog is displayed out of screen if it is closed in a secondary screen and the screen is not connected anymore. Now, if a window or dialog from WFC contains at least one pixel out of the active screens, the default location will be restored. This applies to all WFC windows and dialogs.
Removed: The self signed certificate was removed. Because of this certificate, a lot of connections were generated by the operating system to VeriSign and Microsoft servers in the name of wfc.exe and wfcs.exe. The connections were made to check the validityof the certificate by the operating system not by WFC, but a lot of users wereconcerned about WFC connection attempts which was not the real case.
