Why don't most Firewalls block a program? Some need to be blocked via Host files?

[QUOTE="giulia, post: 743641, member: 57375"] Hi i have 2 questions 1) why can't firewalls (at least all i have tested) block completely a program ? for example , this is just a question for[U][I] purpose knowledge[/I][/U] , some programs for example (for example adobe programs like photoshop , lightroom and so on) could be blocked with several firewall but they can still comunicate sending outgoing data to the adobe servers to block them completely , the hosts need to be edited ,additing some lines and the program it blocked @100% well again it's for purpose knowledge (i pay them with a subscription) Can i know why can block block and intercept these outgoing data ? it's an example , but there are many program that you can block with the firewall but they can comunicate with their servers i know many program need for update and to work in case of subscriptions or to be sure they are legit , but there are many programs free , and honestly i would like to control them in short why can they bypass the firewall? 2) is there a tool (or tools "programs") that are able to detect all the activity and track a program @100% ? for example the program i listed above , and there are others paid softwares thanks best regards [/QUOTE]
