Malwarebytes will allow BiniSoft to retain its current name, supplemented by Malwarebytes branding for the near future. In July this year the developer said he is working on a new product/program which is in cooperation ship with Malwarebytes. The main program however still will get urgent updates in order to fix possible problems. There will be no feature updates introduced and (for now) you can’t register a new account in order to activate the product until Malwarebytes finds a solution with Alexandru Dicu. He often gave (and still give) outstanding support in his own Wilders Security Forum thread.Īccording to the Malwarebytes, the firewall software “allows admins quick access to Windows Firewall settings and enhances the management functionality of networking rules for each application.” Is WFC (by Binisoft) dead?
The programmer says that while Microsoft’s native tools are powerful, he did not find it “easy to play with,” and therefore set to work building an alternative interface. The software runs in the system tray for quick and direct access and can display notifications for outbound blocked connections and digitally signed programs.įounded in 2010, BiniSoft is the brainchild of independent developer Alexandru Dicu. The BiniSoft Windows Firewall Control utility provides additional features to extend Windows Firewall software.
The WFC GUI application had over 500k downloads and was a pretty solid Firewall GUI for the Windows integrated one. The popular firewall GUI application for Windows systems Windows Firewall Control (short: WFC) is now officially acquired by Malwarebytes. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed and the old WFC source code will not be released. On Tuesday, the cybersecurity firm said the deal will help IT administrators protect enterprise endpoints through the integration of BiniSoft’s Microsoft Windows Firewall Control tools.
