    How can I check there are no malicious entries in the Windows Firewall


    Many times in the "Windows Defender Firewall" of the "Control Panel", some apps or features are allowed through the "Windows Defender Firewall" in a completely automatic way and without any warning to the user.

    In my laptop, for example, I see this situation (only the first part of the list!) Where the first elements are, perhaps, deleted if I perform the "Restore Defaults" excluding @ FirewallAPI.dll, -80201 and @FireWallAPI. dll, -80206 which instead remain, as I have tested other times before performing the update 20H2 to the build SO 19042.685 which instead have been added, precisely after the update, the first 5 elements:

    The question is this: how can a user determine if there are unsafe apps or features in the list?

    The unfortunate situation is above all given by the fact that the names in the list are really cryptic and there is no use obtaining information by clicking on the "Details" button.

    So what I would like to know is how do you analyze this list to determine if you are safe or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best free AV and firewall

    Can Windows Firewall block outgoing connections yet? If not, it's one step above useless.

    Look into Online Armor for a free firewall.
