[QUOTE="X195, post: 1063890, member: 103492"] Hello, I've created an outbound block rule in WFC for a specific piece of software on my computer. When I look at the connections log and look at the "recently allowed" connections there is a list of connections from this piece of software that have been allowed. In the "Program" column, it points to the .exe of the program which is the one that I have blocked in the rules panel. Note: When I switch to "recently blocked" it shows a list of connections from this software that have been blocked, so it looks like some of the connections are being blocked and some are being allowed. Can anybody suggest why all of the connections from this .exe are not being blocked? ---------- A second question is, I'm getting a lot of outbound rundll32.exe requests. As far as I understand this could be any application that generates these requests, so what's the best way to determine which application has requested to generate the the rundll32.exe outbound traffic? can I find this out from within WFC? I would appreciate any support. Thanks [/QUOTE]
