It's fine - for incoming traffic.
Frenchie said:I have it running since the beginning and I never had any problem
(virus or whatsoever).
It nevers tells me if it actually did something to protect me, but I
couldn't care less.
It does it's job and that is what counts for me.
I agree that it is not protecting my PC against outgoing traffic
initiated by software that got installed on my PC via a malicious way.
But therefore I have Ad-Aware from Lavasoft that I am using regularly
anyway.
Meaning : I am very happy with it
from the wonderful said:Re: ICF
absolutely no feedback as to what it's done.
GSV:
Have you used the ICF log file: \windows\pfirewall.log
from the wonderful said:ICF at least briefly, before figuring out it was no use at all on a
network, which connects via a router/switch (basically block all the
network traffic). What does it actually log, and do you have to manually
enable logging?
GSV:
Headers from the log file:
#Fields: date time action protocol src-ip dst-ip src-port dst-port size
tcpflags tcpsyn tcpack tcpwin icmptype icmpcode info
You have to enable it:
NIC properties: Advanced tab: Settings button: Security logging tab
