Windows Firewall Control is a nifty little application which extends the functionality of the Windows Firewall and provides quick access to the most frequent options of Windows Firewall. It runs in the system tray and allows user to control the native firewall easily without having to waste time by navigating to the specific part of the firewall. This is the best tool to manage the native firewall from Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. 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 setting blocks all attempts to connect to and from your computer.
Medium Filtering - Outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked. Only programs 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 don't want to initiate outbound connections.

SysHardener is intended to bolster your Windows settings specifically to mitigate against a multitude of cybersecurity threats.The intention here is to help reduce and hopefully totally prevent malware, ransomware, exploits, and other common threats by limiting the attack surface that they leverage for an attack. This measure is done by restricting some of the functionalities of Windows. This process includes securing vulnerable applications (Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, etc.), outbound connection blocking for specific apps (powershell.exe, wscript.exe, winword.exe, etc.), disabling of jаvascript on Adobe Reader, Macros, OLE, and ActiveX on Office. You can also unassociate VBS, VBE, JS, JSE, WSH file type associations, as well as disabling of unused Windows Services.
