Good Evening! Don't know if it's been mentioned previously...have the developers at Webroot...thought of providing their own firewall with Hips? I Haven't posted in quite some time...but intend too quickly rectify my tardiness...so apologies if this is old news. This forum by the way is superb in it's layout and implementation. I have a background in Sales and Marketing,so I'm always aware of the way a forum addresses the needs and wants of it's customer base. Keep up the stellar Customer First Focus...Sincerely...Securon

Welcome back Securon, and thanks for the kind words!  :)
A similar request was made in this idea.  The idea would provide for the ability to block a file prior to running it.  You may wish to add your kudos to it.  Ideas with more kudos are more likely to be implemented because there is a greater understood demand for the feature.
 
This other idea is asking for a two-way firewall, but it was closed because the Windows firewall in Vista, 7, and 8 is quite good as far as inbound traffic is concerned.  We aren't likely to build out an inbound firewall when Windows already does the job so effectively.

Hi Securon nice to see you again from the tall pines of Wilders.

  Were you part of the original Beta Testers back in early 2011?
