Zone Labs' Glee at Hobbled Vista Firewall
The firewall built into Vista may be better than the one supplied with Windows XP, but by default, it will not automatically block outgoing traffic, which is great news for security software vendor Zone Labs.When Microsoft updated Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) in August 2004, for the first time Windows included a firewall that could protect users from both incoming and outgoing threats. However, Microsoft has admitted that Vista's firewall will not block outgoing traffic by default but did not explained why.According to Microsoft, the default settings mean that the Vista firewall will be turned on to protect against incoming attacks and it is capable of blocking unauthorised applications from connecting to the Internet. However, that feature will require users to "selectively configure the firewall". News source: ZD|Net Read full story...
