To Block "Visual Studio Background Download" = backgrounddownload.exe which tries to connect to Internet From Different Folders.

you would have change the settings in Glasswire Firewall to [Click to block]. That’s the only other way to stop it. :grinning:

I can’t believe there’s no proper way to handle this… Click to block is not a solution since it’ll just let everything through initially essentially defeating the whole purpose of using Glasswire for me.

“Unfortunately allowing any application with the same name to access the network isn’t a serious solution because someone could put malware on your PC and call it the name of a popular program and it could do whatever it wants.”

How about the ability to deny by name and not allow? I’d be happy to automatically deny every Visual Studio Background Downloader connection and let it through manually when I need it.
