How in the world is that the responsability of the Firewall to know? And how do you think that would make any difference to Joe Six Pack. The issue is on the user to blame not the firewall, if you ask the firewall to warn u when some app tries to connect to the internet to warn you.
This happens on Linux too, you can blacklist your apps and notify on calls, thats all it happens. If the user is stupid and uneducated, no app in this known universe will make it smart. I would rather charge the user responsible for it's stupidity of not knowing how to use a firewall. Mensaje citado por "Lars D.
