Windows Firewall Control 4.0.4.0

Published November 27, 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: It is now possible to export only partial policy files that include only the rules selected by the user. Select some rules in Manage Rules window and use the context menu on the selection. You will see a new entry named "Export selected rules". When you will import this file, as usual, only the exported rules will be imported while the existing rules will remain unchanged.
Fixed: The new user settings are not saved until program restart if the user uses the "-reset" parameter to clean any stored user settings.
Fixed: When the user checks if a new update is available, the GUI is becomes unresponsive. A new busy indicator was added to show that something is going on.
Fixed: When restoring the default set of rules or importing the rules from a file, the profile is not updated correctly in the Profiles tab. Fixed: The rules list does not refresh correctly if Manage Rules window is opened and the user: restores the recommended rules, duplicates multiple rules at a time, creates new rules for multiple files at a time by browsing them.
Fixed: When loading the rules, sometimes, the reloading of the rules fails because multiple rules have the same internal hash. Switched to Guid instead of Hash.
