Does this firewall provide both inbound and outbound protection? How does
it differ from the built-in Windows Firewall?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Free and accessible firewall
Hello all,
Amongst going through my e-mails I saw one I sent to the list about a free
and accessible firewall. now the time has come for me to tell you. I've
been trying Privatefirwall from www.privacyware.com. It uses a web
interface which seems to work well with JAWS. The system tray icon and the
context menus also work. So do the alerts that pop up. By default though
the alert only appears for 30 seconds (you can see the number of seconds
remaining when tabbing through the alert), so you need to be fairly quick
to decide whether to allow or block the application. During installation,
which uses the typical Windows Installer service, applications you have
installed are detected and thus allowed through by the firewall, including
JAWS.
Think that is all I have to say for now. Any comments or queries can be
sent on or off list.
Since it's free I am wondering if David or Rick can put it on their
programs page.
P.S. The program works with Vista and 7, but it should also work for XP.
Enjoy!
