Hi,
I've just installed Win7 Firewall Controll plus and on second bootup (next day) all items under "Programs" dissapeared!!!
I started all over again ( fortunatelly, my zones were still there)
However, I have a strange program there, def, without path or zone (see attachment)

Any ideea about why I lost all programs and what is def?

Thanks,
Claudiu

Hi,
The link provided is for Beta version... (4.5.1.15 (beta))
Are you testing beta versions on paying customers???

Not a common practice, usually you would ask for volunteers to test beta and RC versions...

Any way, I downloaded and installed, let's see....

thanks,

Actually there were 2 possible answers
- get the latest we have with the problem fixed
- the problem is known, please wait for the next release.

The choice is definitely yours anytime

Hi,

thank you for your answer; in fact the two posible answers are:
- keep the version with a known bug
OR
-update to a beta version with unknown bugs!

Anyway , I installed the beta version and I was pleasantly surprised to see that all settings and rules were preserved .So far everything works fine!
I will keep you posted.

Thanks,
Claudiu
