Re: Windows Firewall Control

Windows Firewall Control 3.0.0.2

√ New: menu item for checking for updates, to see if a new version of the program is available for download.
√ New: customize the rule to be created directly from the notification about blocked connection.
√ Improved: added support for port range when modifying the properties of a rule.
√ Updated: due the piracy of the previous versions, we had to improve our activation system again. Due to the new activation process, if you use an old version, including version 3.0.0.0, after you install this new version, you must activate the program again using a different activation code. If you are a registered user, please log in to your account on our website and get the new activation code. We apologize to all of our registered users for all inconveniences created by this process.
Thank you for your support.

Re: Windows Firewall Control

Windows Firewall Control 3.0.0.3

√ Fixed: default installation folder on 64bit versions of Windows, changed to SysWOW64 instead of System32.
√ New: End Process option when you are viewing current network connections in the program.

Now the explanation. Version 3.0.0.2 is compiled to use x86 native code, and because of that, on 64bit operating systems, the default installation must be in SysWOW64 instead of System32. This update fixes the problems regarding 64bit operating systems. Also, this version can update an old installation, without requesting closing the older version that is running. Just run the new wfc.exe from any location on your HDD, and follow instructions.

If you use version 3.0.0.2 you can use the new feature "Check for Updates". If not, you can download the new version from the website.

Please do not hesitate to report any other problems regarding WFC, and I will fix them in a short time.
Thank you for your support.

Please do not hesitate to report any other problems regarding WFC, and I will fix them in a short time.

Windows Firewall Control 3.0.1.2

What's new in version 3.0.1.2

A first clarification. In the first 3.0.1.0 beta1, I forgot to change a value, so this final version can't be 3.0.1.0. That is why I have named it 3.0.1.2.

√ New: A new menu item named "Manage Rules" was added, from which the user can administrate more easily the firewall rules.
√ Improved: From this version, all firewall rules are listed in the same list. A rule that allows a program is coloured green and a rule that blocks a program is coloured red.
√ Improved: Local ports, remote ports and protocol, are displayed for all firewall rules without requiring to select a rule.
√ Improved: A new firewall rule can be created by selecting the executable file or by clicking on the program window.
√ Improved: The responsiveness of "Learning Mode" was increased by 40%.
√ Fixed: "Learning Mode" works now with all language localisations.
√ Fixed: The uninstallation process does not delete the program file.

Installation notes:
Firewall rules created with previous versions are incompatible with this new release, because from this new version, the firewall rules are stored in a different way. This was absolutely necessary in order to implement the new improvements. If you use an old version, please uninstall that version and choose to restore the Windows Firewall default settings. Sorry for any inconveniences caused by this transition, but a clean install is mandatory.

The second clarification. If you already use a previous 3.0.1.0 beta version, you can update it without no problems.

Good news for the users who use a higher DPI setting than the normal one. I have compiled an extra version which was developed and tested on 125DPI. Now, everything looks fine, I mean the graphical interface. Also I have updated the icons to a higher resolution to look better.

Installation notes:
Installation notes: If you update version 3.0.1.0 or 3.0.1.2 to this one, your firewall rules will be converted automatically to the new format. If you use an older version, a clean install is mandatory. Please uninstall your version and choose to restore the Windows Firewall default settings. We are sorry for any inconveniences caused by this transition.

Good News

Today I had enough time to test again WF and WFC by using different firewall tests available on the internet. The profile used in WFC was "Medium Filtering". Because many leak tests use Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) to inject themselves in this process and then send your data, a rule to block Internet Explorer was created and I choosed not to be alerted again about Internet Explorer. So, Internet Explorer was totally blocked.

1. GRC ShieldsUP!

I tried all their tests: File Sharing, Common Ports, All Service Ports, Messenger Spam, Browser Headers.

Result: All passed successfully. The computer was protected in front of all tests.

2. PC Flank

I tried the following available tests: Leak Test, Quick Test, Stealth Test, Trojans Test, Advanced Ports Scanner, Exploits Test

Result: All passed successfully. The computer was protected in front of all tests.

3. Test My PC Security

Some of the tests were not able to run because Microsoft Security Essentials found that they are trojans, so the antivirus deleted them automatically. The other tests were succesfully blocked by Windows Firewall.

Result: For the tests that were not recognized as trojans and then automatically removed by the antivirus, Windows Firewall has passed them successfully.
