Block full internet access to a program
I really a help on this Windows Vista’s firewall. Due to some reason I want to block internet access for browsers on this computer. I tried doing this from the firewall in this way:
- Open Firewall and clicked New Rule.
- Clicked Program, program location, selected ‘Block the connection’.
- Selected all profiles and named the rule.
I did this for both inbound and outbound access but still when I try browsing with internet explorer or firefox, all webpages loads fine. Means, internet is still working. I don’t know why is it still happening though columns on the firewall control panel show that the rules are enabled and the action is block.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Any advice please?

Hey even I need some similar kind of help. You guys saying it should be done under “Advance Security” option but when I check my Firewall status, there is no such option.
Mine is Windows Vista Home Premium. Is there anything like this option depends on Vista version?
