You can also set up automatic temporary rules for applications that need network access for a limited time, such as software updates. With WFC, you can configure notifications and logging options, as well as filter rules by various criteria such as IP address, protocol, port, and program. WFC provides a more advanced interface for managing the Windows Firewall, allowing users to create custom firewall rules to allow or block specific network traffic. Developed by Binisoft and acquired by Malwarebytes in 2018, WFC is a powerful software program that enhances the functionality of the Windows Firewall by providing additional features and options. That’s where Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control (WFC) comes in. However, its default interface can be limiting in terms of customization and configuration options. Thank You! It's nice having someone offer a civil and helpful response rather than being blown off.The Windows Firewall is a built-in security feature that helps protect your computer from unauthorized access and malware threats. I also recommend it to anyone that has installed a different firewall and are scratching their heads trying to figure out why is this so complex. It's good and I recommend to anyone just running windows firewall. Fourthly, allows you to set profiles on the fly with a click in the system tray and finally allows you to review all connection attempts, inbound and outbound. Thirdly, it adds little things like context menu items where you can just click on a file and allow or block as opposed to having to open up windows firewall and adding manual entries. Secondly that it will not allow a connection to home base to try and download additional components or send your information to God knows who.
Secondly, if you have inadvertently installed a piece of malware on your computer, it may do damage locally, but firstly you'll be aware of it maybe a bit sooner because you'll get notifications that something is trying to connect outbound and it will be blocked. Biggest need number one is to control the biggest piece of spyware on your computer. I use it constantly so there is definitely "a need". Windows firewall is very good as far as protection, just lacks certain basics. This software just adds that extra control over the existing windows firewall instead of having to install an entirely new firewall software. as far as "the need" it's to allow you to control outbound connections in the firewall and be notified, which normal windows firewall lacks badly. Nicely designed, non-invasive and the developer is very responsive to questions. Couldn't ask for a better piece of software. I've been using since before it became part of Malwarebytes and it's awesome.
