Go to: www.sygate.com
Download the "Free" Personal firewall.
It will have a "Traffic" list.
You will have to run it and let it load the apps that
access the internet. Usually let everything connect first.
(It will prompt and ask if you want them to.)
Then open apps. and select IE,AVprogramsand the such
to "Allow" all the rest can be "Blocked".
Then go into advanced in Applications. And uncheck every
window except "Act as Client" except for IE and AV progam.
Those would have "Act as Client" and Act as Server"
checked.
You will have to do this to all the Apps in the dropdown
list on the "Advanced" page. By dropdown/highlight
line/click.
This is important to do. Exspecially to uncheck
"Allow ICMP Traffic" ICMP traffic carries alot of the
backdoor trojans.
If you don't set these in the firewall? You will leave
alot of ports open making your system open to hackers.
Or hacking type programs. The firewall in XP/IE is
virtually useless.
