PC users all over the world understand the convenience Microsoft Security Essentials has to offer in terms of providing basic protection. There are however those who just do not bother about the basics and turn to third-party alternatives for their security. It is important however to note that there are great programs that can boost MSEs’ performance and make it customizable for more secure options. A good example of such a program is TinyWall.
Once you install the program and run it on your machine; it gets installed to the system tray and is visible as an icon with an orange wall and a globe. The first configuration the program does to your computer is block internet access to all programs (almost all). Nonetheless, you can enable web access by white listing programs that you want to connect. The available whitelist options are by window and by executable files but all the same navigation through the PC is must.
To get better control of your PC, you may need to select Manage to get more options on exceptions and details about notifications. The program has nice mode feature to enable you change the access privileges to ‘permitted’ or ‘denied’ while it can also learn how your system is run automatically for more effectiveness; this is a feature that has to be enabled.
This can be a great option for loyal fans of MSE in Windows 7 and Vista as it offers more control of the system.
