Description
Windows Firewall Notifier extends the default Windows embedded firewall behavior, allowing to handle outgoing connections.
Little disclaimer (because I have to)
This application is provided "as is". Use at your own risk.
Since I do not want you to panic: the only thing that could happen is that you lose your Internet connection (for instance if "something" prevents Windows Firewall Notifier to be launched properly while all outgoing connection have been blocked as required). In that case, you will be able to restore the previous settings by launching the Windows Firewall Notifier again (it will then "uninstall"). You can also go to the control panel / administration tools / advanced firewall settings to enable back all outgoing connections.
As said: nothing that could really hurt ^_^
Behavior
This application only uses existing Windows features, enabling some of them when first launched:
Enables the Windows embedded firewall
Sets the firewall to block both inbound and outbound connections for which no rule exists
Enables the default Windows firewall inbound connection notification
Enables the Windows firewall outbound connections logging (disabled by default)
Creates a scheduled task linked to the Windows firewall event log entries, allowing Windows
Firewall Notifier to be launched when needed only
