[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 983837, member: 78686"] You need to use Windows Firewall Control as shown above, set it in Ask mode and then every time something asks for internet connection, search online what that process does? Why it needs Internet connection? Then decide whether you'll allow that or not. Windows Firewall Control creates all rules in Windows Firewall. So it's not a separate Firewall. You can even uninstall it once you have made your required rules. If you want to try something different, then try Simplewall by henryapp. This is something it's better to figure out by yourself. It's a learning process, don't look for a ready-made solution in this case. You may not find such thing. I learned a lot about windows when I experimented like this. After creating your own rules, if you still have some confusion about something, then you can ask on this or any other forum you prefer. [/QUOTE]
