I also wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a TESTED firewall that will alert me when an outbound connection is trying to access the Internet. I want to know what program is trying to get out, on what port is it doing it, and where is it trying to go. and before you reply I can save you the trouble and tell you I tried the Vista firewall ( sucks when it come to configuring and reporting individual programs and ports) and Norton - what a F#$#$% jock that firewall is because it has like 0 configurable options and it comes with the Antivirus that get stuck scanning the system every time. I used to use Zone Alarm before I updated to Vista x64 but as many of U discovered - its no go for the x64 bit version.
So - any ideas? thanks
