Configuring Private Firewall

Can anyone help me in configuring Private Firewall?
By default PF only alerts me when I execute something. but never alert me when it tries to connect to internet after being allowed to execute...

 

I can't help you with configuring PrivateFirewall, but if you have just installed it, I believe it defaults to 7 days in Learning Mode. If I am correct, this would explain the lack of alerts.

 

Haven't seen that myself...

My advice: turn app monitor to high, leave new process detection on. Pf is bad at protecting the registry so the only way you'll intercept a lot of malware is to block its execution in the first place.

Also there's this whole thing with digital signatures, which strikes me as a bit fishy. I'll start a separate thread on that I think.

 

Training period is over... All the settings are set to high but still pf asks only when new executable launches, not when they connect to internet.

 

Hi, can you give an example?
This is my experience with pfw.

 

Oops I am not getting this type of pop-ups. Ok I will add some screenshots. btw, I am using Vista 32bit.

 

Thanks I have found the reason why I was not getting that info.
