Hi,
For those of you who are used to the limited firewall in XP and think
it's more of the same in Vista I would like to clarify and recommend a
piece of software.
The firewall in Vista is more capable than it was in XP. However, the
advanced settings are somewhat hidden and a bit difficult to use. I found
a great program that turns the built in firewall into something easy to
use and quite advanced using all the features. The program is called
Vista Firewall Control and can be found here:

It's free, but there's also more advanced versions which you have to pay
for.
I normally do not promote software in a group like this, but this one is
linked to a built in Windows Vista feature, so I thought some of you
might want to know.
