Default Vista Firewall Control

|MG| Free Download - Vista Firewall Control 32-bit 1.0.7

This seems to work well for Vista 64 bit as well for controlling outgoing signals.

So, it's an improvement over the built-in?

They even have versions for the iPod.... lovely! I'll never install it on my iPod.

Makes it easier to control outgoing which is a big problem with windows firewall.

Default Re: Vista Firewall Control

Installed it and deleted it within 5 minutes.

Pros: Yes, it makes control of apps easier.
Cons: Elementary interface; doesn't blend with Vista. The default is DisableAll. Caused internet hold-ups immediately.

We had 2 different experiences with it. I found it easy to use and it does what it's suppose to do stop programs from connecting until you give them permission.
