Windows 10 Firewall Control: exhaustive and straightforward solution for applications network

activity controlling and monitoring. The application prevents undesired programs and Windows
updates, informational incoming and outgoing leakage of applications running locally or remotely.
Detects and stops zero-day malware, prevents from “phoning home”, unwanted automatic updates
and sending “telemetry”, increases your network security and privacy. It puts the user in control of
all network communications PC The Provides detailed logging and notification of any application
network activity. Allows using and creating applications permissions to control the network activity
easily. Rich set of predefined, ready-to-use applications permissions applicable with a single click. The
ability for creating virtual computers group (sub-networks) with flexible agreements to control
mutual connect ability inside Local Network. It manages external network hardware devices.

Almost any modern application is an active network one. Applications check for updates, verify
licenses and registrations, submit problem reports and perform a lot of other network actions
without any notice to the user and user permissions typically. Such network activity is expected and
welcomed sometimes, but hardly always. The application will send a short message to its developers.
There will be no strictly personal data in the information forwarded probably. The question is
whether a user needs such communications at all. If a user wants to manage such network activity
evidently and not to allow any bit of data sent to somewhere without user explicit permission or
notice, Windows 10 Firewall Control is for user precisely.

If a user accidentally obtained a recent malware installed, the program may be not detected by
antivirus. The antivirus database updates are a fast and regular type, but the upgrade cannot be
immediate. Windows 10 Firewall Control is nearly the only way to detect and stop malware activity.
Windows 10 Firewall Control filtering rules are protected against an intrusion strictly. The rules
consistency is monitored. Even an intrusion happens, Windows 10 Firewall Control will detect the
intrusion, try to fix the broken rules automatically and notify a user with the details.
