OK, kpac...i will probably go for online Armor.
i ALSO have Win 7 X64......how do i configure Win 7 for out going connections.....i might as well do thisOnline Armor will take CARE of the OUTGOING connections so just play around with the settings once you install it. I'm not sure about it because I haven't used it.Quote from: kpac on July 19, 2010, 04:05:26 AM

Sorry Kpac

Can the windows 7 x64 firewall be CONFIGURED for out going connections, rather than installing a third party firewall.
The windows 7 firewalls interface is rather confusing.
Any help/links or advice on how to do this. Windows 7 already has outbound connections checking, but you just NEED to add rules if you need to.

see link here, hopefully it is helpful.Quote from: 2x3i5x on July 26, 2010, 12:15:42 AM
