Internet Connection Firewall. Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is a
stateful filtering firewall for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. ICF
provides protection for PCs connected to a network by preventing
unsolicited inbound connections through TCP/IP version 4 (IPv4). SP2 turns
on ICF by default and starts it earlier in the boot process.
