[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 884331"] Incoming new connections are blocked, but established traffic through outbound will allow the incoming half of that exchange (else you would lose Internet access). In the case of malware you would be exposed either way (unless you restrict access to the Firewall like I stated, or use a Hardware Firewall), the Firewall is not meant to detect and stop malware running on your machine.
