RE: Windows firewall [sp2]

The thing about Windows Firewall is that it doesn't block outgoing traffic, so it's not too surprising that it allows everything to connect. You only need exceptions if a program needs to accept incoming connections (like a server).

BTW, I think Messenger automatically adds exceptions for itself as needed.
