[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 862409"] Which isn't the original firewall purpose, firewall are supposed to monitor traffic, not preventing download cradles or prompting the user to allow or deny access. The user is supposed to set rules based on its system. By default and for obvious reason, Windows Firewall can't decide it for the user and have to allow any outgoing processes., however it does a decent job at blocking incoming connections. Which is its original purpose. If WinFW was so bad like in XP, several security vendors won't rely on it. Now most of them just implement outgoing prompts due to malware evolution but barely touch WinFW core design and traffic filtering mechanism. Just look at corporate firewalls use, admins implement system/networks specific rules, they don't wait for pop up alerts lol, they even disable such noob features. [/QUOTE]
