This is an excellent application. Low memory usage and state-of-the-art protection. What else do you need? It indeed requires some knowledge of what you are doing. So if it asks you to allow or block an application you need to know what the application is trying to do. This firewall is a consistent winner of firewall competitions. It allows you to completely take into your hands all the communications and applications on your computer.
Highly recommended!! Give it a try!
