Windows Firewall Control 4.5.4.4 Multilingual | 1 Mb
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.
Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click:
High Filtering - All outbound and inbound connections are blocked. This setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
Medium Filtering - Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs you allow can initiate outbound connections.
Low Filtering - Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed. The user can block the programs he doesn't want to initiate outbound connections.
No Filtering - Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer.

What's new in version 4.5.4.4 (27.10.2015)
- Added: A confirmation dialog was added in Manage Rules when deleting a rule to
avoid accidental deletion of the rules.
- Removed: The detection of insertion of USB drives was removed due to the errors
that may appear on some systems in Windows Reliability Monitor related to wfcs.exe.
- Improved: The Delete button was moved at the end of the list in Manage Rules to
avoid pressing it instead of the Disable button.
- Fixed: Notifications for Windows Update are not displayed in Windows 10. The
notifications system was updated to not match anymore the rules defined for a
specific Windows service.
- Fixed: The validations for the Program from Properties dialog were updated to
handle extra empty spaces that may be inserted in the path of a file.
- Fixed: The application fails to start if the system tray icon has a tooltip larger
than 64 characters. This may happen if the translation file contains large strings
which may be used for the system tray icon tooltip.
