Nice!
Keep in mind that SpyShelter is all about answering prompts correctly. It is totally user-dependent protection, there are no automatic blocks (unless you specifically set it up that way).

I use the default settings in SpyShelter. The only thing that changed was to uncheck the option "allow SpyShelter to end the process in Task Manager", plus set up all permissions in SpyShelter for conflict-free work with other security programs.

Step by step and your SS configuration become more granular and efficient. First...I think you should know how level of protections works and where is the diference between them - look this post on Wilders
SpyShelter 11
I just installed 11.4 RC on Windows 10 X64 Pro version 1709 and it set itself to Medium Security Level after installation. During the installation...

Thanks for your opinion...without some false modesty

As of this day, I'm with Comodo Firewall at CS settings. But in the last five years, I used VoodooShield or SpyShelter Premium ( lifetime license): all of them are great pieces of software. And the protection is top notch!

Read your post. If I understand you correctly, do you recommend setting the "ask user" option as the most reliable?
I was given an lifetime license for SpyShelter Firewall. So I make changes to the configuration. Instead SpyShelter Premium install SpyShelter Firewall. And delete the MWFC. Firewall from SpyShelter reliable by default, or also need to configure? Is it possible to set manual mode for outgoing connections?

Wow. SpyShelter Firewall in "ask user mode" is totally powerful, if you know how to use it right, and you have the patience for it. There is a lot to learn, but for an experienced and careful user, it is tops.
Again, many people make the mistake of thinking that SpyShelter "protects" them. It doesn't. But it empowers you to protect yourself by making wise decisions.

I don't remember, I haven't used SpyShelter in a long time. @ichito can tell you where that setting is.

@ichito posted this thread: SpyShelter - an overview of my settings, some tips and useful info (by ichito) Check here to find your answer or a link. Also, he has posted a lot of info at Wilders and a Polish forum. I saw it recently but forget ATM. Searching and reading would probably benefit you to make the most of Spyshelter.
Edit: You can follow the links from his signature on Wilders.

Do you mean protection level?...it's called "Certified applications"" and here you have where you can change it
But as @shmu26 said this level is as smart as you are...everything will depend on your knowledge and decision

I set this level, but it seems that this is not what I wanted. I want SpyShelter Firewall to give me an alert for any outcoming connections. So that I could choose which program to allow Internet access, and which one - not to allow.Do you mean protection level?...it's called "Certified applications"" and here you have where you can change it

So why not just use Binisoft firewall control or something like that? Why do you need SpyShelter Firewall? It's sort of like using a truck to pick up your groceries.

It is more powerful, but the power is not in that particular area. You can get that particular function from Binisoft or other firewalls. As for more reliable, I don't know what exactly that is referring to.So they say that the Firewall from SpyShelter is more powerful and reliable, than the Windows Firewall.

The program from Binisoft automatically allows access to the Internet, for example, all metro applications, Cortana, X-box, etc. And these applications are constantly climbing the Internet, creating automatic permissions for themselves, transmitting something, receiving something. And the program from Binisoft does not control their activity in outcoming connections.

To remove the processes you find objectionable, you can use O&O Shutup, WimTweaks, etc. to remove whatever your heart desires. Then you may use WFC, etc. to allow only what you want.

So you can leave it at "ask user", but disable monitoring for all the actions you don't care about. You could even disable everything except for firewall, if that is what you want.
- Jun 11, 2019

No, I don’t want to disable everything, I just need the firewall to notify me about outcoming connections every time, no matter what program or process they come from. Of course, you can use the program from Binisoft, but why, if SpyShelter has its own firewall? Or is it impossible to configure it so that it always gives an alert for outcoming program connections? Do not completely control everything manually, but only requests for outgoing connections, while leaving all other components on automatic mode?
