[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 884296"] "Best solution is to have a hardware firewall", while not entirely false this entire video looks like an AD. You can easily stop malware (or any other program for that matter) from creating Firewall Rules without your consent, by changing the permittions on [CODE]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules\[/CODE] Then we have WFC which also has options to restrict access to the Firewall. I won't deny Microsoft fails to supply the tools and options for advanced users, it wouldn't take much effort from their part to give us an option to restrict creation of Firewall Rules. This video just shows you can easily create Firewall Rules without Admin intervention, and honestly I knew about it for years, I've used it in multiple companies scripts (and yes, it works on Windows 10, this is supported by Microsoft). Either way the moment the Malware is on the PC you already lost, you supposed to stop the Malware from getting on your PC in the first place, and as shown by VT, that sample is easily detected.
