What's new in version 4.0.9.2 (16.05.2014)
- Fixed: AppGuard and Steam can still create firewall rules at boot time when their
services start before WFC. Now, the WFC service initializes first and intercepts
properly these attempts.
- Fixed: The profile is not reverted by the Install Mode if the system is restarted.
- Fixed: Install Mode can change a higher profile to a lower profile which should not
be possible. The description of Install Mode was renamed and the profiles available
were reduced only to High Filtering and Medium Filtering profiles.
- Fixed: When switching between multiple connections in notification dialog, the
Protocol and Direction become unchecked.
- Improved: When opening a file location from WFC, the file is now selected. In the
previous versions the folder was opened but the user had to select the file manually.
- Improved: Consecutive notifications are allowed for the same program only after a
period of 30 seconds between two blocked connection attempts for the same program.
Consecutive notifications are now allowed. Multiple notifications for the same program
will not be displayed because many notifications can be generated, but the info for
an already displayed notification for the same program will be updated.
