Re: Firewall APIs

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

If you mean windows firewall, I believe it can be switched off only by administrator. In case of another firewalls - they implement protection mechanisms that does not allow to change their settings, switch them off, etc.

My question simply is, if any software can change my firewall settings, such
as turn it off, so where is the security?
I think that any spyware can simply switch my firewall off!!!
