We have a client server java application. The communication is provided by

using the Verizon's wireless internet cards. That means that the computer is

connected to the internet all the time. Now we wanted to install a firewall

that would block all the other applications like internet explorer, chat

programs and mainly all the spyware. But the thing is we do not want pop up

messages that ask for our approval to allow or deny any application. We just

want our application which runs on a specific ports using static ip

addresses on the server and the client PC's to access the internet. The user

using the system is not very computer literate and we would not like for him

to see any of such messages. We tested some personal firewalls but all would

pop up the message. Could anybody suggest a firewall that has such options?

All ideas are welcome

You're not going to find anything that's going to give you what you're
looking for. It's either App Control is enabled and one has to deal with it
or App Control is disabled in the PFW solution and it's not used at all.

App Control in PFW(s) is overrated and can be easily circumvented and
defeated by malware.

The end-user has to be somewhat aware of what he or she is doing is the
bottom line when it comes to controlling malware making it to the machine.

Install Linux on the computer, using java environment, and move the
application. Make shure no services are started amd you are safe.

No need for "firewall-software" in a secured computer system.
