[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 970547"] Oh trust me, svhost is not blocked alone, and certainly not only outbound connections (but also inbound), as for having the regedit secured, it already is (cause the WF is extremely easy to bypass without specific restrictions). You don't need admin rights to add firewall rules by default, this problem with Windows and all it's APIs that make it easy to bypass UAC and prompts. I also agree this kind of setup is too complex for average users, I use it for myself and not on others machines, I not running any AV, all I need is the firewall. There no simple way to allow only Microsoft IPs cause of their CDNs. [/QUOTE]
