What do folks think about the integreted firewall of Windows 7? Would Win 7 FW be a preference over running a third party app for inbound and outbound protection? |

| reply to planet I'm using the built in firewall, it HAS improved in Windows 7 than what was used in Windows XP. At least I think so. Haven't had any problems yet. (Knock on My Head WOOD!)  -- November is National Alzheimers Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month!
