If you have a router, you are not protected against outbound attacks. This is why you still need a software firewall. CFP will automatically detect your network, and shouldn’t give any problems with your router.
I have had no popups with MSN. If you set CFP to clean pc mode (if you’re confident your pc is clean) you will hardly get any alerts.
All firewalls will slow down the internet to some extent, but with CFP 3 I haven’t seen any noticeable difference.
where is my list of trusted applications ?
why does “treat as web browser” mean “never let this application access the net and keep spamming me with access requests”. . .and “remember my answer to this question” doesn’t seem to work either
why must i add “all applications” as trusted before firefox will connect to the net??
why is there a separate policy rule created for every one of those aforementioned “remember me” button clicks.
i close the firewall using the taskbar and then nothing has internet access
why is there nothing in the process or event list - ever?
apparently “the Defense+ is not functioning properly” despite restarting 4 times to activate it
and the few good points -
the new active connections dialog as a tree is nice
listing the access rules below each application is good
