XP Built in Firewall

I noticed that XP has a Firewall option for network connections.

Is this just as good as the third party stuff (ie Norton Personal Firewall) ?

Probably not...you'd be better off either using a router or something like ZoneAlarm.

It does not stop outbound internet access (like trojans attempts, etc). Lots of people see that as a bad thing.

get zonealarm as filburt said. it is the best firewall out there (free too!)

Thanks, I got zone alarm installed.

can't seem to access some URLs with it enabled though. Guess I need to play with the settings.

Thanks again!

Also run teh Ad-Aware...
