[QUOTE="Shiz, post: 1099753, member: 76321"] If the Windows firewall can be disabled so easily, it might not be worth relying on. Many of your security measures become ineffective if a rogue application can simply turn it off. It would be problematic if your antivirus software didn’t catch such threats. To avoid putting all your eggs in one basket, consider using a third-party firewall. While hardware firewalls like OPNSense and FortiGate offer excellent protection, they can be expensive and require advanced configuration skills, which is why most regular users don’t have one at home. Just remember your regular home router is probably not set up or have the capability to block outbound traffic. [/QUOTE]
