It appears that the firewall that ships with Windows Vista is not as good as was promised.

Apparently it filters for outgoing connections but doesn't stop very much by default.

Sure, you can configure it, but the way you would have to is mission impossible because you have to do it by application
Nihil, all you have to do is enable outbound connection filtering... then you allow programs you want to allow out.. just like every other firewall operates... You have to remember that Mr. Gralla is a... well useless when it comes to technical matters... He's the one who said "Justice Prevails" when the school teacher was found guilty of viewing porn that came up because of spyware..

I highly suggest you read my latest blog post -- http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=262 which dispels the myths that Mr. Gralla provides.
