Block Freeware to access the Internet

windows firewall with advanced security??

ya .. i wish there was a better interface to it

Er, Windows firewall DOES automatically block all new software fom acessing the internet til you say "OK" to a popup the first time you run it.

Unless youpve turned it off or changed it's settings from default.

WRONG !

Windows Firewall (WF) does NOT block outgoing connections (by default).

i know, since i have tested several firewalls, WF has several leaks when you are running on a USER-account, and a few more on an ADMIN-account.

yes, it CAN block outgoing connections, but that requires that you create rules regarding what to block and what to allow.

do a search on the forum, this has been posted before, both by myself and others...

ESET has several leaks, it doesn´t block,
in fact it performed so bad that i really couldn´t believe the results,
so i ran all test once again, with the same bad results.

i have tested several firewalls, the only firewall of those i tried that really blocks is Comodo.

i have not tested Kaspersky & Avira, so i don´t know anything about them,
except that both performed bad in the tests by Matousec,
so i didn´t have any interest in using (and testing) them.

the new Kaspersky 2010 has got better results at Matousec, so i might do some tests later.

Eset makes problems with connection to the web when you choose advanced mode to configure the firewall..It's poor.
But kaspersky has a strong firwall.
Comodo is best but Av is not (Free),but we can install the firewall standalone and choose a good AV(avast,kaspersky antivirus,Microsoft Security essential(Update is manual!)..
Outpost Firewall is better with an antispyware.
Thank you.

Use PeerBlock but make yr own block list and insert all these prog's IP addresses into it. It runs independently and runs from boot up.
