Windows Firewall Control v.4.9.6.0

Change log:
- Updated: WFC recommended rules contain now the required rules for PING command for ICMPv4 and ICMPv6. Also, the recommended rule for WFC updater contains now the port 443 since the website uses now HTTPS instead of HTTP.
- Updated: The disabled rules in Rules Panel and the entries in Connections Log use now system colors instead of hard coded colors. This improves readability when a high contrast theme is used.
- Fixed: Inbound connections have local port and remote port swapped in Connections Log data grid.
- Fixed: When choosing 'Customize and create' in Connections Log an inbound connection, the local port and IP should be swapped with the remote port and IP in order to create a working rule.
- Fixed: Blank window with no message is displayed when trying to install an older version over an existing newer version.

Windows Firewall Control v.4.9.9.1

Change log:
- New: Nothing changed. I just increased the version from 4.9.9.0 to 4.9.9.1 just to prove how poor are many antivirus detection systems that detect wfcs.exe as a false positive.

Below is the VirusTotal report for WFC service from version 4.9.9.0 released a week ago, which is detected as Trojan.Generic... by multiple antivirus vendors:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...52cb59f9dbc00f1d35f072fa2c7a6ab9c8c/analysis/

I just changed the version from 4.9.9.0 to 4.9.9.1 and then recompiled the software. Now the false positive is gone and with the same virus definition versions, WFC service is not detected anymore. This makes me wonder how these antivirus engines work ? The code is the same, so how they decide a program is a threat or not ? It just doesn't make sense. And has nothing to do with the fact that WFC is not digitally signed.

I made this experiment because I have received tens of emails in the past week which describe the same problem. Kaspersky and other antivirus vendors were detecting WFC service as Trojan.Generic and removed wfcs.exe from their machines.

Please report any false positives to your antivirus vendors. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Alexandru

P.S.: If you have problems reinstalling WFC, after your antivirus removes wfcs.exe, please read below:

Windows Firewall Control v.4.9.9.2

Change log:
- Improved: Added tooltips and color indicators in the activation dialog to make the activation process more intuitive.
- Fixed: Removing hundreds of rules at once in Rules Panel makes the window unresponsive until the action is actually finished.
- Fixed: There is no progress indication in Rules Panel for long running tasks, like when importing a large partial policy file or when creating duplicate rules for multiple rules at once.
- Fixed: The confirmation dialog which is displayed when "Blocked connections" check box is unchecked in Connections Log is not displayed in the center of Connections Log but in the center of Rules Panel.
- Fixed: When the program is locked, depending on where the mouse pointer is placed over the unlock button, the tooltip still displays "Lock..." instead of "Unlock...".
- Fixed: The Local Addresses combo box from the Properties dialog should not contain any tooltip since this field does not support special keywords.

New translation strings:
696 = Activation code must have 16 characters
697 = Invalid activation code. Make sure you use the latest version of the program.
698 = The activation code is valid

Removed translation strings:
790 = Please choose the folder where do you want to search for executable files
791 = files

Windows Firewall Control v.4.9.9.4

Change log:
- Improved: The performance of Connections Log was increased by 47% on multi-core systems by using parallel computing.
- Fixed: In Windows 10, local/remote IP and local/remote port are switched for inbound connections when they are displayed in Connections Log. The switching should operate only on Windows 7 and Windows 8 since this is already fixed by Microsoft in Windows 10.
- Fixed: Find duplicates functionality from Rules Panel does not detect some duplicates if the path contains different upper/lower characters.
