Thanks YoKenny and apologies for not reading the thread more carefully.
As you pointed out Bootchee's post cleared thing out.
@Bootchee
Thank you for your contribution to this thread. Your posts answered my concerns
Cheers.
I am very pleased that my contributions have been helpful.
I do kinda think that most all of us quite rightly agree that this REALLY seems to be a
program worth buying..................
but....................
all we need is some feedback from someone who has already purchased and used this program.
Since (once installed) this program DOES NOT NEED OR USE the built in vista firewall,
we plainly are pre-sold on its merits.
Now, to get confirmation as to what benefits the pay program has to offer,
BASED UPON FEEDBACK FROM A USER...... NOT from their advertisements.
At this point, I personally cannot see the (singular, I think) benefit of being able to
"categorize" the programs that I control with VistaFirewallControl being worth paying for.
If the pay part was to include something MORE of substance, I AWAIT TO BE INFORMED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One BONUS I can share with you all since my last post is that since I allowed this program to
"enable all" for my anti-viruse program, it HAS NOT PESTERED ME FOR MORE INPUTS, WAHOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see, prior to installing VistaFirewallControl I was using Comodo. (Really, a seriously GOOD firewall.)
Comodo asked me to approve my anti-virus request to make a new folder where it temporarily stored
a bit of data about a file I was downloading. I approved it.
Then, my anti-virus had need to create ANOTHER temporary folder for data about ANOTHER similar issue.
Etcetera, etcetera, ETCETERA, blah blah blah.................... over and over and over.
Probably, to be real, three times a day, EVERY DAY.
I just plainly got tired of it so I began to search for a firewall that would NOT PHONE HOME, nor would it
ask me REDUNTANTLY for every silly request.
By that I mean, if my anti-virus wants to create temp folders for whatever it feels necesary, I want to
APPROVE the folder being created in a cetain spot, AND ALL FUTURE SIMILAR create requests,
SO LONG AS THEY ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION, and VistaFirewallControl controls PRECISELY THAT.
I am a happy camper.
My only hang up is that the FREE edition (to me) SEEMS TO OFFER EVERYTHING I was looking for,
and if'n that's true, WHOOPEEEE, I don't need more.
but.....................(again)
I guess the "what's in it for me" question has risen within myself and I will have no problem to PAY for
more........................IF there's more for "ME".
I look forward to following this GREAT INFORMATIONAL thread.
