Thanks for interesting post! I totally agree with you about Vista firewall. It was odd to see one-way firewall in Windows XP (inbound filter only), but the same thing in Vista looks crazy. Eeveryone have to use firewall and antivirus at least while being online. Just to protect PC from being zombie in botnets sending spam. I use <a href="http://www.agnitum.com/products/security-suite/index.php" rel="nofollow">Agnitum Outpost Security Suite</a>, for example. I guess, securuty suites with firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, etc, are the future of security applicatons. Hi, Chris.
