Windows 7 Security | Could Firewall and Networking Works Well
Can Windows 7 change the perception that Windows Firewall is security you use until you install protection that actually does something?
Like Rodney Dangerfield, Windows Firewall gets no respect. Little changed for it between XP and Vista, and, while it does its simple task well, its lack of ambition made it a punching bag for reviews of better personal firewalls. I can't tell you how many times I've written, "Sure, Product X stealths all your ports against hack attack, but heck, even Windows Firewall can do that." Though Windows 7 adds a few new features in the firewall and related network-safety areas, the firewall in Windows 7 doesn't deliver the big changes I had anticipated.
