  • The Process Monitor adds an important layer of defense to conventional firewall protection by identifying process-level behavior characteristics of intrusion techniques and malware activity.
  • Control which applications can access the Internet, and whether to permit/block every application with each usage or make permissions permanent. Specific IPs and/or Websites can be blocked or allowed access.
  • Define application specific or global packet filtering rules that can be applied to incoming, outgoing or bi-directional traffic.

PC unusable after installation (twice) – Windows Explorer wouldn’t run – memory errors – blank screen. Had to restore from a drive image. Beware.
Also doesn’t appear to be free, but ‘trialware’. Hard to tell, though, ‘cos never able to run it!
And, unhelpfully, no link to publisher’s site from this page.

Sounds like someone installed the wrong app above. I just installed this, no issues at all. It didn’t once ask for money or even display an ad. Click the about and it is simply, free. It has a lot of control and I am fairly impressed with this. I would ask how this appears to be trialware when there is NOTHING to signify it as trial. Memory errors, blank screen, sounds more to me like there were other issues going on besides using the firewall. Anyway, I haven’t had a problem yet and tried it on XPpro, Win 7 X64, and went smooth on both.
