Published Wednesday, April 04, 2007 by Technology Monster | E-mail this post| The XP version could block incoming attacks, but the Vista edition watches traffic both in and out of your system, which can help stop malicious programs from stealing data or spewing spam e-mails." In fact, Vista's firewall can monitor and selectively block both inbound and outbound network connections. Strangely, the firewall control panel, part of the Windows Security Center, does not let you set up outbound filtering. |
