Curious, I downloaded Bot Revolts demo. I was shocked to see how many connections my computer was making. The demo does NOT actually block connections, it only shows all of your computers connection. Which is pretty kool anyway. I decided to purchase the full version, it was very inexpensive, and because I wanted the program to monitor all of the connections my computer makes. I am happy with the program. I can see whats going on with my computer in real-time, It blocks bad connections in real time. The program also works with my other security software ( i use malware bytes) If you are curious about bot revolt I would recommend downloading the demo first, so you can see how many connections your computer is making each second.
