    Is it possible for malware to breach the firewall rule without getting administrator access in Win 10 / Win 11. Using cracked / suspicious/malicious software programs offline will it help prevent spreading infection and getting hacked / data stealing. Suppose after downloading a PDF from the internet can I get hacked if I block adobe PDF reader and the PDF file both accessing internet. Will it be possible for the malicious PDF to drop malware / steal data / change firewall settings / encrypt my data like ransomware?

    Block ALL Programs Except Allowed Ones

    You can block programs using Windows Defender, for example (ignore the strange title):
    Please Wait... | Cloudflare

    E.g.

    Turn On Windows Defender Block Suspicious Behaviors in Windows 10  

    The DWORD is set to 0 and I cannot get the process you suggested in the "NOTE" portion of the tutorial to work. Two attached screen shoots will show the before and after attempts to change the Permissions necessary for access to the DWORD change.

    No internet access

    What type of security program/s do/did they have installed? I've seen McAfee and Norton both completely block internet access for no reason. Even after being uninstalled they can sometimes still block internet until you run their clean-up programs.
