Using the firewall to prevent phoning home
How can I set the firewall to grant current (default Vista settings)
internet access to all currently installed programs, but ask for confirmation before granting any newly installed programs outbound internet access in the future (so I can prevent newly installed programs from phoning home, but not break any programs I already have installed)? |

Using the firewall to prevent phoning home
Add the programs in the Exceptions Control for which you want to allow
connection. If Firewall is on, by default, it asks for any new program installed to Allow or Block. abc "Roof Fiddler" wrote: How can I set the firewall to grant current (default Vista settings) internet access to all currently installed programs, but ask for confirmation before granting any newly installed programs outbound internet access in the future (so I can prevent newly installed programs from phoning home, but not break any programs I already have installed)? |
