    Has anyone tried this free firewall controller? It integrates with the Vista Firewall. I installed it on my lappy but everytime it blocks an application I just click "enable all". Not sure this setting is benificial, anyone know a better way to set the program up? The manual that come with it is not much help.

    Guess nobody has tried it... it's a small program that works with the windows vista firewall to control inbound and outbound traffic. I went back and limited or disabled a lot of the stuff I enabled when I first installed it and so far no problems. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
