Software Review: Windows Firewall Control
Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Vista come with built-in free and powerful firewalls. However, they lack an intuitive interface to define simple rules and can be difficult to configure at times. Windows Firewall Control is a brilliant application developed specifically to provide quick access to the most frequently used options in Windows Firewall.
This application sits in the system tray and provides the user with easy control over Windows Firewall without having to navigate to a specific part of the Firewall. All options to enable, disable, or access Windows Firewall and Advanced Security can be found in a right-click context menu in the system tray. Furthermore, Windows Firewall Control extends the default functionality of the native firewall by integrating the program into the context menu of executable files and displaying notifications of outgoing blocked connections. This makes it the perfect tool to manage the native firewall in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Windows Firewall Control is easy to use with intuitive menus placed in the system tray. The quick access to Windows Firewall and Advanced Security from Control Panel saves time and effort. With a single mouse click, users can allow or block a program to connect through Windows Firewall. The application also offers quick access to user-defined rules with the option to delete them instantly. Users can also view the current active network connections for the local computer.
Windows Firewall Control can be set to start automatically with Windows at user logon. It also allows for quick resetting to default Windows Firewall settings and protection against uninstallation when it is locked with a password.
Registered users get additional features such as user notifications on blocked outgoing connections, importing and exporting of program policies, and locking the current configuration of the program with a password. The application also has shell integration into the right-click menu of executable files.
In conclusion, Windows Firewall Control is an excellent application for managing the native firewall of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. It saves time, offers additional features, and makes it easy to configure the firewall to meet users' needs.
