    What Windows are you with?

    BTW....Vista firewall fails most leak tests (outgoing traffic).

    Windows firewall isn't bi-directional. It only blocks incoming traffic so if something is compromised there is nothing in place to stop outgoing information being sent to whoever. Microsoft confirms this here Why would I consider a third party firewall?

    Vista firewall restricts some outbound traffic, and some rules can be added, as described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc138010(TechNet.10).aspx
    Look at What’s New in Windows Vista? paragraph.
    It's still pretty lousy, though.
