I'm currently running Malwarebytes Premium so I suppose no news is good news on the MalwareBytes forum about WFC running at the same time potentially conflicting with one another. Windows Firewall Control Features: Intuitive and easily accessible interface in the systray. Then after installing WFC, the options to add rules to allow programs to make connections would prevent Defender maybe from having the tendancy to complain, or maybe a least amount of notifications. I thought I would perform all the changes from the settings in Defender first before installing the application. I never used WFC before and I haven't installed it yet.

I've already made recent changes to the default settings to block all outbound traffic. At least, I'd feel better knowing if I ran into a problem with Windows Defender Firewall. It would build greater assurance if one knew who to turn to for support. Other than the measure to uninstall previous versions, there are very few posts that I could find on Malwarebytes forum about problems encountered. After the acquisition last year and the fact that one can't download Windows Firewall Control directly from Malwarebytes official website, does Malwarebytes offer support to a user where they might be experiencing with the latest version? A recent article on Ghacks cited their source from Malwarebytes asking users to uninstall the current version of Windows Firewall Control manually before they run the installer again.
