Title: Windows Vista Firewall
Post by: jsky on January 18, 2007, 04:46:23 AM
Just wanted to let everyone know a little bit about Vista's new Firewall.


Do not be deceived by the Firewall in Windows Vista.

It is a fully configurable firewall with plenty of power. And highly configurable once you enter it's Enhanced Interface.

Note: The firewall in Vista is set by default, half disabled.
You should learn about Vista's firewall, and set it up to fill your own needs.

Here is a link that should help you learn and configure Vista's Firewall to receive the best protection for your system.
It's a bit lengthy, that's why the link

I am on the Live 1.5.1890.16  Production, Not Beta,
Version of Windows LiveOne Care and all works great. 
The Microsoft update,(Prior function Windows Update)
pushed it into two of my systems a couple of days ago.

I am looking forward to trying out Vista's and its security
on one of my PC's but will wait till March 2007-
