[QUOTE="ColonelMal, post: 906518, member: 63923"] I just came across a mention about TinyWall and I looked up their website. I'm curious about how it actually works in practice. They say that I use Windows Firewall Control and I get notifications about new outbound access attempts and I act accordingly. Some of them refer to utilities or maintenance software installed by my PC vendor. The same applies to some requests by Microsoft. I normally allow these. How would TinyWall respond to outbound access requests by such programs? I agree about "security fatigue", but I'm not so sure about the practicality of "the user will only notice that a program has been denied internet access when he can't use it any more". [/QUOTE]
