[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 779059"] As an addition to my original post, it goes without saying that there are utilities out there which evolve around Windows Firewall in one shape or another. Essentially, boosters for Windows Firewall. However, WFP in itself, is not based on Windows Firewall. It's the other way around. Windows Firewall is based on WFP. You can use WFP to filter network operations system-wide for controlling incoming/outgoing packets regardless of whether Windows Firewall is enabled or not. [/QUOTE]
