Some programs on your PC need to make incoming and outgoing connections to the Internet. You can choose the type of connection for your programs, and block them from connecting to risky sites.
| • | Program settings Personal Firewall lets you manage access permissions for programs, and block programs from connecting to risky sites. |
| • | Allow full access for a program Some programs require full access to the Internet to function properly. |
| • | Allow outgoing access for a program You can allow a program to have outgoing-only Internet access. Most programs require outgoing-only access, like web browsers and most network applications. |
| • | Block access for a program You can block a program from having incoming and outgoing Internet access. This is an important option for users who want full control of their PCs, allowing access only for the programs they trust, and blocking everything else. |
| • | Remove a program's permissions You can remove a program's permissions by deleting it from your Internet Connections for Programs list. If this program then tries to access the Internet, Personal Firewall will treat it as a new program. |
| • | Block a program from connecting to risky sites You can block a program from connecting to risky sites, which can leave you vulnerable to attacks from hackers and spammers. |
