I also recommend checking expand control panel and display administrative tools to make all those controls super easy to access.

But the windows firewall is notorious for blocking games in weird ways so I keep it disabled.
Thanks for your good tips as well. ,my control panel is a menu in the Start.
However my firewall doesn't block the games i used to play,like maple story ETC.
Even if the exception isn't in the list,it'll pop-up to ask you Allow or Deny or something.

P.S : I'm surprised,Anti virus-less? . Sounds not that safe,better get one. And since i hate
to reformat (lazy to call the microsoft). So i try to keep my computer as clean as possible away from these malware. And Since i got my games account hacked due to that..That's also one of my reasons to create such thread.
