Is it a good firewall or should i get another one? <_<

start->run->services.msc and disable that POS of a firewall
get one you can import the bad ip list, like zone alarm or zygate or outpost
i'm fine with ICF - it passes all firewall tests i've tried
it doesn't import the bad ip list, but if it did i wouldn't know what to do with it
Me myself I don't like them because they stop connections with BT.
get sygate :D
Most dislike the built in firewall, for me personally, I use Zone Alarm Pro.
.......
Get ZoneAlarm
ICF only works on incoming connections. It does not block any outgoing traffic such as spyware, trojans or even when windows media player wants to phone home. I have 17 microsoft processes that want to access the internet, everything from word to office xp component. They can't without permission.Quote:

I disabled ICF and use the free version of zone alarm.
