[QUOTE="silversurfer, post: 1058266, member: 26718"] I am a long time WFC user and will try to help you with your questions... Here in my case I haven't noticed any issues after deleting all default Windows Firewall rules. WFC recommended rules are basic only from my point of view, most users need to add a lot of more rules but all depends how much other software are you use and of course some important Windows system processes, here also depends what do you like to allow connecting out... I never use Learning Mode and instead rather prefer "Display Notifications" but that can be annoying at first day, after a few days you will rarely see again notifications ;) This looks like the right way, I agree for all steps, except to use "Learning Mode" but that is the best option for beginners without a flood of WFC notifications at the first day.
