Since I'm back on W8, I'm looking into Firewalls again.
Firewalls from MS don't make any sense. Because it will likely let anything from MS through the lines. And I don't want anything going through without asking for my permission first. I need something that is going to stop every single thing attempting to go through, and ask my permission. Regardless of whether or not my OS company considers it safe.
I was looking into Online Armor. But the first thing on the website is about a white list that they have considered safe to go through. But people need a Firewall that we can actually set ourselves. I'm not sure if Online Armor has another level where it ignores the white list, and informs me of every single attempt so that I can decide if I want to let it through.
