 Please help me - is that really something new? I had a lot of troubles with f... hackers one month ago and now I`m really afraid of it... I`m not an advanced user but my bf said such a user should have something with true application control, something like pcIP or something else.

I think what you are looking for is something that can monitor port access by each application, right? Well there are a couple ways to do this.
1) let an application do it automatically
2) you do it manually
The first one can be obtained by using a firewall like Zone Alarm where is monitors any application that may want to access the net on any given port. All you do is click "yes" or "no" for either temporary or full time.
The second one would be something like Tiny Personal Firewall where you can directly add or modify the various ports and what applications can use them.
The second can also be attained by Zone Alarm Pro.

Ok, Thanks a lot  I tried ZA but it was too complicated for me to use. Friend of my reccomended pcInetenet Patrol. Do you know anything about that one? That`s not the cheapest program but i want to try it. And the second - do you know if Tiny PF is free?

ZA Free is actually pretty simple. Once a new application tries internet access ZA asks you what to do.
Haven't heard of the other one.
What you want to remember is that a firewall should not only block incoming packets, but also outgoing packets.

Here's a (free) program that can be run along with a firewall:
| Quote: | System Safety Monitor (SSM) is an application-firewalling tool (it is not a "firewall" in traditional understanding, so there shouldn't be any conflicts with your network firewalls). SSM controls which programs are running on your computer and what they are doing. For example, SSM can prevent so called "DLL Injection". Also, SSM will notify you whenever a program you want to start was modified. In addittion, SSM can constantly check your registry and alert you, when an important modification was made.
Features
# Allows you to control which programs and applications can be opened on your computer.
# Offers a choice of two modes – User and Administrator. In Administrator mode you can set your preferences to control programs. Access to this mode can be protected with an encrypted password to prevent anyone changing your settings. In User mode no changes can be made to your settings.
# Supervises changes to important registry keys when installing new programs.
# Will block or alert on any attempt to change guarded registry keys.
# Allows you to control which programs run at system startup.
# Maintains a list of running applications and allows you to terminate any application immediately.
# Maintains a list of Black–Listed (banned) and Trusted (allowed) programs and applications. These lists can be easily edited.
# Allows you to block specific windows (including websites) from opening.
# Can be set to run automatically on system startup. |
