What's the point in having a firewall built into Windows. Unless it's possible to block access to that API. Hmmm....

The same point that there is in having ipchains/iptables in Linux - it allows an Administrator to restrict access to only those services that are actually required, so that poorly coded services don't provide backdoors to attackers.

Indeed. If a black hat has gotten his code onto your machine and is running as root/Administrator, he's already scored. Making it hard for a homeowner to lock or unlock doors from inside a house isn't a fundamentally helpful security measure - just annoying. _______________________________________________
