Leech, it seems to be more about what is going OUT, rather than what is coming in. That was my big concern over this last kufuffle. I was really concerned that things were going out via a dll that wasn't being stopped by the firewall.
Sygate and "maybe" the new Agnitum Outlook 2.5 may have new ideas regarding things like this. I suspect there is going to be a revolution in firewall technology this year.

Yeah .. I agree with you on that. I installed the new Zone Alarm, and ran the test. When it asked for anything to go out while testing I said no, it then came back clean. So the problem is that not all firewalls have dll authenication for outgoing processes.
I also find it interesting because now when I go to some websites I get the dll autherization warning. If I click deny it locks down the browser to where I can't surf anywhere. In order to surf agan I have to restart it .. So it looks like zone labs was already doing something about this ...
