Windows Firewall Control (WFC) by BiniSoft.org

Thank you both for letting me know

 

"Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control" is indeed loaded and running in Windows Services (I had previously only looked for services starting with "Windows"). I also discovered that the WFC icon was hidden in the tray - believe it or not, it was overlayed by the Kaspersky icon!

So it seems that the issues I posted above turned out to be a false alarm - sorry.

 

Just started using WFC. Have a question about notifications. I keep getting these notifications wanting to connect outbound:

MoUSO Core Worker Process | C:\windows\system32\mousocoreworker.exe | Block | Out | 52350 | 443 | 6 |
Device Association Framework Provider Host | C:\windows\system32\dashost.exe | Block | Out | 54428 | 3702 |
Function Discovery Resource Publication | C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe | Block | Out | 50386 | 3702 | 17 |
NT Kernel & System | System | Block | Out | 137 | 137 | 17 |
Cryptographic Services | C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe | Block | Out | 52328 | 80 | 6 |

Should I allow them to connect outbound? I used sphinx firewall in the past and it would allow such programs outbound only as "read only".
Input would be appreciated.

 

Windows Update, if blocked, updates might fail.

I have it disabled, I do not share files over LAN.

NetBIOS, disabled as well, since it is vulnerable.

It is used to update certificates/digital signatures for Windows, browsers, webpages.

 

@TairikuOkami Thanks for the tips. I will allow "out" for #'s 1 and 4 and block 2 and 3. If you don't mind, there might be a few more that I might ask your advice on.

 

Alexandrud et all...

It is possible to import a file with the rules (WFW or WPW from the command line (I need it during the installation phase already from the command line)...

 

netsh advfirewall import "C:\Firewallrules.wfw"

 

Tnx
