Hi
The XP Firewall monitors incoming access from the Internet, but does not
monitor outgoing access to the Internet. May I suggest that you install a
3rd party 2-way Firewall, such as ZoneAlarm:

Download the 4.5 version - there is a problem with the newest one ATM.
I don't know Web Washer, so I can't compare it with any Firewall.
