NEVER85 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Coffee just spewed out onto the keyboard. Laughing my *** off.. Nice.. Except it was a terrible joke and not even remotely correct. Windows Firewall is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancedar Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks. Being a total noob where's the best place to read about setting up outbound protection in w7's firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond355 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Run as "Standard User", create an admin account to use when performin admin task turn windows firewall on in/outbound and you are set. Obvisously you need to add programs that connect to internet to outbound list.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrack Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 wrack, check out: http://www.sphinx-soft.com/Vista/order.htm...FirewallControlvista firewall control.. its what i use now! love it p Thanks, pjray. I shall check it out. And what is wrong with the Windows firewall? At the time of asking the question I didn't know how capable W7 firewall was! Guess I am just too used to not trust Windows firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrack Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 BTW, with everyone saying if you have a router with NAT then there are no problems. I mentioned in my OP that I have a router with NAT but like I consequently explained that I needed the software firewall to block outbound program access, again which I didn't know W7 firewall could do.
