instead of the shortcut in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup'

v 4.9.6.0
- Updated: WFC recommended rules contain now the required rules for PING command for

now system colors instead of hard coded colors. This improves readability when a high
contrast theme is used.
- Fixed: Inbound connections have local port and remote port swapped in Connections Log
data grid.

the local port and IP should be swapped with the remote port and IP in order to create

version over an existing newer version.
