[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1100300, member: 67091"] There some good firewall software out there allowing to customize rules for 100% of the files (no "safe list", total "default deny")... but Man, it demands tons and tons of work, not just a "one time job", it's a constant work. IMHO, in real life we need a balance between "security", "privacy" and "usability"... and "usability" should not be taken out of the equation. As other participants said: "Stay safe, not paranoid.". For average users, Windows Defender + Firewall default settings are part of that right equation. And for advanced users, hardening Windows or a modern third-party antivirus/malware with automatic action (no "default deny") is more than enough. [/QUOTE]
