Windows 7: stop a program outgoing and ingoing,how can i do?

Hi
i read some tutorial
and i make firewall rule for the program to avoid to connect to the net

it was and it's a test to learn how the Windows 7 firewall work



well i do this rule,and reboot the pc

well i run this program (it has a update check on , i can disable) but again it was a test

i run the program and let it to check for update , and it is able to connect to the net despite the firewall rule

i can post some screenshots

in poor words , can i avoid a program to connect to the net ?
can i block this program for incoming and outbound connections?

thanks

Are you on a public network or in a private network? Have you checked that the program was disallowed to connect to your private/public network? Be sure that, when creating firewall rules, the program should not be allowed to make incoming and outgoing connections on public and private networks.

thanks
i'm on a private network

yes i have

is there a option to let the Windows 7 firewall pop when a new program wants to connect to the net with a allow and deny ?

By default, Windows notifies you if a program wants to connect to Private/Public networks and if you want to allow/disallow.

Click and type the word "Firewall". Click "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security". It is there where you can set inbound and outbound rules for a program. For setting inbound rules, click "Inbound Rules" on the left pane. On the right pane, choose "New Rule...". Follow the onscreen instructions in the New Inbound Rule wizard. The same applies to outbound rules.

Read the following tutorial for more information.

to me it doesn't
where can i set default , the pop up ?

thanks

I have edited my post above.

Navigate to the following location:

Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall

On the left pane, click "Restore Defaults". Click YES on UAC prompt.

I would download Windows firewall control.. this will allow you to easily set outbound rules for Windows 7 firewall...

Windows firewall control

i did it too
but when i run a program , the firewall doesn't pup up!
with UAC Active (high level) or disabled

The firewall notification doesn't really notify you all the time. Sometimes it notifies you, sometimes it doesn't so you'll have to manually allow/disallow a program to connect to a Private/Public network.

UAC shouldn't be turned OFF. It should always be set at the default (recommended) level or at a maximum level to ensure protection from unwanted changes made by programs.

thanks
for example i installed firefox , the firewall did not pop up
now i download a new program that checks for update , the firewall doesn't pop up
