Block Full Internet Access To A Program
Jun 2, 2008How do I completely block internet access for a program on Windows Vista? Is it possible? I have already tried creating a rule on the Firewall With Advanced Security for both inbound and outbound access using the "New Rule..." wizard. I choose "Program", next I choose the program's location, next I choose "Block the connection", then I check all three profiles and finally a name for the rule. I have created testing rules for both IE and Firefox but they could still access the internet (i.e, the webpages were still loading).
The columns on the firewall control panel show that the rules are enabled, the action is block and all other columns are "Any". I thought it would completely prevent the program from accessing the internet, but it doesn't. Could you guys give me a hand? Is there a way I could make a program to not see the internet (or any network for that matter) at all?

Oct 18, 2008I'm new here with a problem that has popped up last night. Up until last night my web pages and everything was loading up in my Firefox browser pretty fast. Today things are loading up slow and with I go on to a news source to watch a video...the videos stop and go making the news video not worth watching. A couple of minutes I was looking at something on here where it said to use "cmd" command to get into something. It was set on "ultrarestrictive" and I changed it to "normal" but haven't seen much difference in how things are working. The other day I downloaded UTorrent on my computer but today I uninstalled it. Could UTorrent have messed something up?

Slow Internet Browser
Apr 21, 2008I somehow fixed my problem before, but then I reformatted my laptop which I regret now. I've downloaded all the vista upgrades and even tried turning off my firewall. But no matter if I'm using Firefox or IE7 it takes waay too long to load a page. I googled this and I've tried doing the "netsh interface disable" command but that doesn't really work either.

Feb 2, 2010This week, Net Applications released their January browser market share report. Their report shows that Internet Explorer 8 is not only the most popular browser on Windows with 27.9% usage share, but that it now has 25.6% of market share across all OS’s on a worldwide-weighted usage share basis (data provided by Net Applications). We launched just less than a year ago, so it’s both humbling and thrilling to see so many people choose our product so quickly – making it the most popular browser of choice worldwide.
There are many reasons people choose which browser to use. Most people want to know and trust the company behind their browser. And people are looking a browser that protects them – and their privacy online. In an August 13th, 2009 post on the IEBlog, we announced Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter had hit over 80 million malware blocks. But that was back in August. As of today, Internet Explorer 8 has done over 350 million malware blocks. You can see Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter in action in this blog post. Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter blocks malware over 2 million times a day...........
Alternative Browser: Concerning The Internet Explorer - New Zero-Day Exploit In-the-wild?
Dec 13, 2008Concerning the Internet Explorer - New Zero-Day exploit in-the-wild, besides applying the workarounds advised, I've also seen it recommended to maybe use an alternative browser until this has been fixed. I've only ever used IE7 and would like some advise please on which other browser I could use on Vista that would be the most secure. I've been looking at Opera, Firefox and maybe K-melon or Google Chrome, but from a security point of view, don't know which to choose.

Dec 2, 2007I downloaded Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser a short while ago and it was working fine. But then my Vista automatically updated and I think that was where the problem started. I think in the update it heightened the security on my computer, not necessarily a bad thing but annoying because every time I launch Firefox it has to ask my permission to continue.
I think this is because it is trying to access the internet and is not microsoft software. I have looked it up in windows help and have a slight suspicion that it might be to do with something called "user account control". It helps stop unauthorized changes to your computer. Is there any way to convince it that Firefox isn't harmful and make an exception for it?
SP2 Adds Watermark Evaluation Copy To Fully Licensed X-64 Ultimate Desktop
Mar 25, 2009I know Vista SP2 is still in "beta" phase but unlike W7 where the WHOLE OS is a beta I've legally paid for a VISTA license -- so after installing SP2 knowing it is still in beta and will expire in Apr I was a bit peeved to see Evaluation Copy stamped on my Desktop - especially when I've PAID for a full VISTA ULTIMATE license. This implies to management etc etc that I've downloaded a temporary copy of the OS rather than a Service Pack especially the water mark doesn't even MENTION SP2 on it. This is the sort of stuff that makes me want to go to torrents to look for cracks in how to get rid of this stuff.

How To Block IPs
Mar 23, 2008let's say i want to block www.disney.com (199.181.132.250). For that, i enter following command into the shell:
route add 199.181.132.250 192.168.1.254
Subnet is 192.168.1.0/24
192.168.1.254 is unused
In XP the ip and dns is unreachable by browser now. Thats fine. But in vista the same procedure doesn't work. It seems there's just an additional short lag and then the site appears anyway. My guess is vista falls back to a valid route after sensing the invalid route but i don't know for sure.

Parental Control Block
Sep 4, 2009What happened to my regular msn email application? As of right now, it tells
me that there has been a parental control block on my email, and I can not
receive or send emails. I have numerous emails in que that I would like to
open, and it looks like maybe this stupid microsoft public windows program.
Which by the way, I know nothing about. Please do whatever you have to, to
remove the block on my msn email program. I would like to know that you did
get this message, but am not sure if you could even send it to me. I have
had nothing but problems after problems with your sloppy vista program.
Please tell me how I can get rid of it - I'd rather have XP.

Brandon Paddock's Blog » Blog Archive » FAQ: Why does WDS / Windows Vista use so many processes?
I guess it's part of 3 Vista "Services" which mostly have to do with indexing. Is this so that Vista can so quickly find files? Is that all it's for? If so, I should be able to permanently block it without any problems, right?
I really don't need Vista to be able to find everything within 2 seconds. I don't look for things that often and when I do I have a pretty good filing system and can get to them on my own pretty quickly.
People are reporting that these 3 services in the article linked above seem to take up a lot of processor power, too.
So has anyone blocked this? What is the best way to do it, and what is the outcome? Will Vista still be able to find things, only a bit slower, or what?
Harddisk Bad Block Recovery Tool?
Mar 26, 2009My laptop's HD seems to have a major bad block. When trying to read certain files the disk always starts clicking and making strange and rather disturbing noises for about 2 minutes before the system fails and I get a blue screen.Fortunately most of these files seem to be in a directory that I only kept "just in case" anyway, i.e. there would be no =
major harm, if these file are lost. I only noticed, that these are corrupted, when trying to read them while making a backup. Alas, that backup never fully ran through due to the problem described.
I am thus seeking a program that tries to read the entire disk (and does not crash, if it gets errors...) and marks files that contain unreadable blocks such that the OS doesn't try to access these any more. As far as I know that should be possible. I once read that there is some kind of bad block list somewhere. Ideally it would also try to read damaged files a certain number of times (e.g. 1000 times or so) trying to recover as much data as possible and if it was able to read entire files it copies their content over to greener pastures. That would allow to minimize the actual data loss.
