[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 861688"] No, there is only a setting to alert when an connection is incoming. +1, people relies too much on 3rd party software instead of learning the basics of tools shipped with their OS. i mentioned it in another thread long time ago. Lazy way: 1- install Binisoft WFC. 2- clear the Windows Firewall rules. 3- install WFC default rules. 4- launch every of your internet-facing apps, allow them; do some reboot (or keep WFC for few days) to be sure some services/processes are triggered. 5- export the .wfw policy. 6- remove WFC. job done, you have most of the basic rules now. And if you like "default-deny" firewall setup, block all outbound connection in WinFW w/Advanced settings. [/QUOTE]
