Belatucadrus Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 It doesn't have a firewall. :DFirst off, GOOD ! I can't abide kitchen sink software packages.Second it's a Microsoft product and no matter what you think of it Windows has come with a built in firewall for some years now, why should they add a second one ? OK if they want to come up with an upgrade in a service pack for the existing one fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
