Re: Unable change firewall settings
LOL Mr Arnold....you're talking out of yous @ss!
I've been in the AV & security field for over 20 years, so I DO know what
I'm talking about.
I run Comodo Firewall Pro and if you need confirmation of just how bad the
Windows firewall is, check out the highest ranked Firewall testing facility,
Matousec http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/ and see for
yourself.
Snake oil crap....security blanket...you're Funny!!!
Except, I forgot to laugh because I know more about securing a Windoes box
than you'll learn in your lifetime...a$$hole
