Hi,
I have been looking at the Vista firewall a little bit. I did some
searching and came across this program called Vista Firewall Control:
http://sphinx-soft.com/Vista/index.html
After I installed it I started getting messages about programs
connecting and could allow or deny them. This seems very similar to
the commercial (and some free) software firewalls I have used in the
past. If Vista's built in firewall control can do these things why
isn't the user interface for it built into Vista itself? I'm not a
firewall expert at all, but it makes me wonder when it only takes
someone writing a user interface to make the built in firewall into
something that looks like full fledged software one.
Does the Vista firewall have "hidden" capabilities, or is the program
above more than just a user interface for what's already there?
