    Not sure where you got it. I have Avira and WIn 7 firewall installed. Get it from the source.

    I have one big question about WindowsFireWallControl:

    I tried it but it wont set the rules to the Windows Firewall.
    It sets it's own rules but wont lend them to the windows firewall!

    If i install FC and try to connect to icq it promps for action. If i allow the outgoing traffic every thing works fine but there is no rule created in the windows firewall. I can also block icq by block all outgoing traffic within the windows firewall. Even if i have an allow rule set in FC.

    I think FC use the same network adapter but you can shut down the hole Windows firewall including the service and it will run probably. So it is a stand alone Firewall and no control center for the windows firewall. That is really distressing cause i would like to use the windows firewall.
    Is there no ****ing way to get a simple popup on outgoing connections like it is set up for incoming ones? That has to be possible!

    Nope,

    You have to manually copy the Win7FW entries to the Win7 FW like stem pointed out. Later on remove Win7 FW cntrl

    the last version i tried, think it was vista firewall control had a REALLY annoying little popup kinda thing in the bottom corner of my screen for every connection and it basically stayed ther, does the Win7 version still have that or can it be disabled somehow?

    Can be disabled, Win7FWctrl loads also a lot faster on x64 than VistaFWctrl
