New Windows firewall

Well this is what the new windows firewall will look like  ;)

XP Firewall

Quote
Windows Firewall, previously known as Internet Connection Firewall or ICF, is a protective boundary that monitors and restricts information that travels between your computer and a network or the Internet. This provides a line of defense against someone who might try to access your computer from outside the Windows Firewall without your permission.

If you're running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Firewall is turned on by default. However, some computer manufacturers and network administrators might turn it off

Nice find, Hooky!  I'd hate to hold shares in ZoneLabs right now.   ;)

Cheers Hooky.  Moroccan jails are hell.  I'm glad that my mum was eventually able to prove I wasn't really Lord Lucan.   8)
