Windows Firewall Control 3.7.2.0

[Picollo]

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.

Changelog:

- New: The installer and the updater were rewritten to include a logging feature to

track down the possible errors that may occur during the installation or the update.

Fixed: The installer can't continue if it can't save the backup policy file restore.dat

This file is used at uninstallation to restore the previous set of rules if the user

chooses to revert to the state beforehand installing the program.

- Fixed: The uninstaller of the program does not work if the Windows Firewall

Control Service is not available or if the uninstall key from Windows Registry was

deleted accidentally.

- Fixed: Shell Integration state is recognized properly.

- Fixed: Tray icon is not properly set after importing a policy if the previous

profile was not Low Filtering.

- Fixed: Some default inbound rules from can't be modified because they use special

keywords instead of port numbers as local ports. Example: RPC, Teredo, etc.

- Fixed: The program crashes on Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 if the user clicks on

the Export Policy button because the GUI is not available. This happens if the program

has the option "Disable visual themes" checked in the Compatibility tab.
