hi,
i want to know which apps/services are *allowed* to
make an internet connection on their own , without
my control.
Check out your Windows Firewall settings.
the purpose is to distinguish them from
malwares etc. in addition, how do *i control*, if
possible, which one is allowed and which is not?
Never, under any circumstances, run as administrator if you're not changing
system settings, adding/removing software, or doing system maintenance.
Never, under any circumstances, run software that you are anything less
than 100% certain is clean. The only time any of that personal firewall
snake oil makes any sense is if you aren't willing to take basic
precautions in the first place.
