  [Exclusive] Windows Firewall Control Review and Giveaway
Posted by: tarekma7 - 07-19-2017 , 12:22 PM - Forum: Expired Giveaways - Replies (34)

[Image: slide3.png]

Windows Firewall Control is a powerful tool which extends the functionality of Windows Firewall and provides new extra features which makes Windows Firewall even better. It runs in the system tray and allows the user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. 

Homepage:

https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php

System Requirements:
 
Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Server 2016, Server 2012, both 32 and 64 bit. Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.6 or newer

Windows Firewall and DNS Client services 

Current version: 4.9.9.1

Release Date:  June 29, 2017


Download:

https://www.binisoft.org/download/wfc4setup.exe

File size:  1.52 MB


[Image: 07oSiLR.png?1]

Filtering modes:

Windows Firewall Control offers four filtering modes which can be switched with just a mouse click: 

High Filtering: All outbound and inbound connections are blocked. This profile blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer. 
Medium Filtering:  Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only the programs that you allow can initiate outbound connections. 
Low Filtering:  Outbound connections that do not match a rule are allowed. The user can block the programs he doesn't want to allow initiating outbound connections. 
No Filtering:  Windows Firewall is turned off. Avoid using this setting unless you have another firewall running on your computer. 

Windows Firewall Control doesn't do any packet filtering and does not block or allow any connection. This is done by Windows Firewall itself based on the existing firewall rules.

Program Features:

Integrated support of creating, modifying and deleting Window Firewall rules. 
Multiple and easier ways of creating new rules in Windows Firewall.
Lock feature which can disable the access to the settings of the program and Windows Firewall. 
Shell integration into the right click context menu of the executable files. 

Disable the ability of other programs to add Windows Firewall rules. 
Automatically display invalid rules for programs that do not exist any more. 
Possibility to find and display duplicate firewall rules. 
Merge multiple similar rules or duplicate existing ones. 
View recently allowed and blocked connections and create new rules from the Security log. 

Intuitive user interface which is easy accessible through a system tray icon. 
Full support with standard user accounts. Elevated privileges are required only at installation. 
Import and export of partial sets of rules. 
Protection to unauthorized uninstallation. 
Possibility to restore previous settings at uninstallation. 
Global hot keys are supported and various shortcut keys are available. 
And many more.


New Features:

You can see the full list of changes here:

https://www.binisoft.org/changelog.txt 

What is the difference between registered user and activation code?

License:

  • An activation code is valid for an installation id as long as the operating system is not changed.
  • If the operating system is reinstalled then the installation id changes and the activation code will not work anymore.
  • The activation status is preserved between WFC versions when a new update is available.
  • An activation code can be used to keep WFC activated for 1 month or for 5 years depending on how long the installation id remains the same.
  • Because an activation code works for a specific installation id only, an activation code can be used on one machine only.
Registered user:

A registered user account offers access to an online activation code generator which can be used to activate WFC on all computers that a user owns at home, for unlimited times, anytime.

A registered user can activate for example WFC on all his 5 computers at any time.

To become a registered user, a donation is required on website for a lifetime license for all computers that a user owns.

As a Registered User, you will get the following extra benefits and features:

Notifications System which provides notifications for outbound blocked connections. You can display notifications for all outgoing connections that were blocked (display mode) or only for unsigned programs (learning mode). In addition, you can disable notifications

Create temporary rules which are automatically deleted when they expire or on program restart.


Conclusion:

This is the best tool to manage that lets you fully manage and control your native firewall. The program is easy to use and

  Martin Landau, Oscar-winning actor, dead at 89

Martin Landau, Oscar-winning actor, dead at 89
Landau won an Academy Award for his performance in the 1994 film Ed Wood
The Associated Press Posted: Jul 16, 2017 8:38 PM ET Last Updated: Jul 16, 2017 9:20 PM ET

Actor Martin Landau displays the Oscar he won for Best Supporting Actor at the 67th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles in March 1995.

Martin Landau, the chameleon-like actor who gained fame as the crafty master of disguise in the 1960s TV show Mission: Impossible, then capped a long and versatile career with an Oscar for his poignant portrayal of aging horror movie star Bela Lugosi in 1994's Ed Wood, has died. He was 89.

Landau died Saturday of unexpected complications during a short stay at UCLA Medical Center, his publicist Dick Guttman said.

Mission: Impossible, which also starred Landau's wife, Barbara Bain, became an immediate hit upon its debut in 1966. It remained on the air until 1973, but Landau and Bain left at the end of the show's third season amid a financial dispute with the producers. They starred in the British-made sci-fi series Space: 1999 from 1975 to 1977.

Landau might have been a superstar but for a role he didn't play — the pointy-eared starship Enterprise science officer, Mr. Spock. Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry had offered him the half-Vulcan, half-human who attempts to rid his life of all emotion. Landau turned it down.

"A character without emotions would have driven me crazy; I would have had to be lobotomized," he explained in 2001. Instead, he chose Mission: Impossible, and Leonard Nimoy went on to everlasting fame as Spock.

Ironically, Nimoy replaced Landau on Mission: Impossible.

Stage and film career

After a brief but impressive Broadway career, Landau had made an auspicious film debut in the late 1950s, playing a soldier in Pork Chop Hill and a villain in the Alfred Hitchcock classic North By Northwest.

He enjoyed far less success after Mission: Impossible, however, finding he had been typecast as Rollin Hand, the top-secret mission team's disguise wizard. His film career languished for more than a decade, reaching its nadir with his appearance in the 1981 TV movie The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.

RIP to the extremely talented Martin Landau

Crimes and Misdemeanors is one of my favorite movies. pic.twitter.com/aFDfd0xBCe

— @bigmacher
He began to find redemption with a sympathetic role in Tucker: The Man and his Dream, the 1988 Francis Ford Coppola film that garnered Landau his first Oscar nomination.

He was nominated again the next year for his turn as the adulterous husband in Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Oscar for Ed Wood

His third nomination was for Ed Wood, director Tim Burton's affectionate tribute to a man widely viewed as the worst Hollywood filmmaker of all time.

"There was a 10-year period when everything I did was bad. I'd like to go back and turn all those films into guitar picks," Landau said after accepting his Oscar.

In Ed Wood, he portrayed Lugosi during his final years, when the Hungarian-born actor who had become famous as Count Dracula was ill, addicted to drugs and forced to make films with Ed Wood just to pay his bills. A gifted mimic trained in method acting, Landau had thoroughly researched the role.

My recommendation is to watch ED WOOD tonight. It's Burton's best film and contains my all-time favorite Martin Landau performance. RIP, sir pic.twitter.com/64Oh76JXKr

— @ScottWamplerBMD
"I watched about 35 Lugosi movies, including ones that were worse than anything Ed Wood ever made," he recalled in 2001. "Despite the trash, he had a certain dignity about him, whatever the role."

So did the New York-born Landau, who had studied drawing at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and worked for a time as a New York Daily News cartoonist before switching careers at age 22.

He had dabbled in acting before the switch, making his stage debut in 1951 at a Maine summer theater in Detective Story and off-Broadway in First Love.

Condolences to the family of Martin Landau.

— @WilliamShatner
In 1955, he was among hundreds who applied to study at the prestigious Actors Studio and one of only two selected. The other was Steve McQueen.

On Broadway, Landau won praise for his work in Middle of the Night, which starred Edward G. Robinson. He toured with the play until it reached Los Angeles, where he began his film career.

Landau and Bain had two daughters, Susan and Juliet. They divorced in 1993.

Zombies have evolved since Night of the Living Dead
George A. Romero, whose classic Night of the Living Dead and other horror films turned zombie movies into social commentaries and who saw his flesh-devouring undead spawn countless imitators, remakes and homages, has died. He was 77.

Romero died Sunday following a battle with lung cancer, said his family in a statement provided by his manager Chris Roe. Romero's family said he died while listening to the score of The Quiet Man, one of his favourite films, with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher, and daughter, Tina Romero, by his side.

Romero is credited with reinventing the movie zombie with his directorial debut, the 1968 cult classic Night of the Living Dead. The movie set the rules imitators lived by: Zombies move slowly, lust for human flesh and can only be killed when shot in the head. If a zombie bites a human, the person dies and returns as a zombie.

Romero's zombies, however, were always more than mere cannibals; they were metaphors for conformity, racism, mall culture, militarism, class differences and other social ills.

"The zombies, they could be anything," Romero told The Associated Press in 2008. "They could be an avalanche, they could be a hurricane. It's a disaster out there. The stories are about how people fail to respond in the proper way. They fail to address it. They keep trying to stick where they are, instead of recognizing maybe this is too big for us to try to maintain. That's the part of it that I've always enjoyed."

Night of the Living Dead, made for about $100,000 US, featured flesh-hungry ghouls trying to feast on humans holed up in a Pennsylvania house. In 1999, the Library of Congress inducted the black-and-white masterpiece into the National Registry of Films.

'My way of being able to express myself'

Many considered the film to be a critique on racism in America. The sole black character survives the zombies, but he is fatally shot by rescuers.

Ten years after Night of the Living Dead, Romero made Dawn of the Dead, where human survivors take refuge from the undead in a mall and then turn on each other as the zombies stumble around the shopping complex.

Film critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the best horror films ever made — and, as an inescapable result, one of the most horrifying. It is gruesome, sickening, disgusting, violent, brutal and appalling. It is also ... brilliantly crafted, funny, droll, and savagely merciless in its satiric view of the American consumer society."

Romero had a sometimes combative relationship with the genre he helped create. He called The Walking Dead a "soap opera" and said big-budget films like World War Z made modest zombie films impossible. Romero maintained that he wouldn't make horror films if he couldn't fill them with political statements.

"People say, 'You're trapped in this genre. You're a horror guy.' I say, 'Wait a minute, I'm able to say exactly what I think," Romero told the AP. "I'm able to talk about, comment about, take snapshots of what's going on at the time. I don't feel trapped. I feel this is my way of being able to express myself."

The third in the Romero's zombie series, 1985's Day of the Dead, was a critical and commercial failure. There wouldn't be another Dead film for two decades.

Land of the Dead in 2005 was the most star-packed of the bunch — the cast included Dennis Hooper, John Leguizamo, Asia Argento and Simon Baker. Two years later came Diary of the Dead, another box-office failure.


There were other movies interspersed with the Dead films, including The Crazies (1973), Martin (1977), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988) and The Dark Half (1993). There also was 1981's Knightriders, Romero's take on the Arthurian legend featuring motorcycling jousters. Some were moderately successful, others box-office flops.

George Andrew Romero was born on Feb. 4, 1940, in New York City. He grew up in the Bronx, and he was a fan of horror comics and movies in the pre-VCR era.

"I grew up at the Loews American in the Bronx," he wrote in an issue of the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine in 2002.

Sad to hear my favorite collaborator--and good old friend--George Romero has died. George, there will never be another like you.

His favourite film was Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's The Tales of Hoffman, based on Jacques Offenbach's opera. It was, he once wrote, "the one movie that made me want to make movies."

He spoke fondly of travelling to Manhattan to rent a 16mm version of the film from a distribution house. When the film was unavailable, Romero said, it was because another "kid" had rented it — Martin Scorsese.

Romero graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1960. He learned the movie business working on the sets of movies and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which was shot in Pittsburgh.

The city became Romero's home and many of his films were set in western Pennsylvania. Dawn of the Dead was filmed in suburban Monroeville Mall, which has since become a popular destination for his fans.
