[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 817747, member: 32260"] That is right. :giggle: Only a few are not on the list of the blocked sponsors, like rundll32.exe, because they are often used by the system and some applications. Generally, if the H_C user has an updated system/software on Windows 10, then he does not need to block Sponsors or harden the firewall. On the other hand, the impact of the firewall hardening on computer usability is close to 0, so it will not hurt. Firewall hardening may be useful on the vulnerable system with vulnerable software, as an additional security layer. Sometimes the user cannot block a few Sponsors, and then they can be blocked by firewall. Furthermore, the user can block Internet access to vulnerable applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Wordpad, etc. [/QUOTE]
