block a programs access

what I want to do is block some of my programs access to the internet.

I cant seem to figure it out.

I been looking through the firewall settings.

any help would be great.

 

Right click on the system tray icon, choose Advanced Setup
.

From the left hand list select Personal Firewall and then Rules and Zones.

Now, on the right hand panel select Zone and Rule Editor and click the Setup button.

Click on NEW at the bottom of the panel.

You will get a new form open titled New Rule.

Give the rule a name, by default the action is set to Deny for in and out transactions and the protocol to TCP & UDP.

Click on the Local tab.

Click Add Port button.

Select HTTP from the drop down box.

Click Browse in the next panel down - find your program.

OK out as normal.

Firstly, you'll need to switch the firewall either to automatic mode with exceptions, interactive mode, learning mode or policy-based mode. Afterwards you'll be able to create rules yourself.

 

ok I have followed your instructions and have the firewall set to interactive mode.

I have set up rules for some programs.

When I tested those programs to see if the rules worked, nod32 still asks me if I want to allow or deny the program.

since I have the rules set why does it still ask me?

 

Perhaps the rules you created were somehow specific (e.g. limited to certain local/remote ports)? In such case, if the rules don't match the criteria for detected communication, a pop-up window asking you for an action will appear.

 

ya, the local setting was for one port, but now I just changed the port range from 1 - 10000. Still it gave a allow or deny pop up.

Is this range not broad enough? Any other ideas?

oh ya, the other port I was using was 80 specific to http.

EDIT. ok that was foolish of me the testing program was connecting through ftp not http. I'll test another

thanks for helping so far
