"Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS[ at ]hotmail.com> 12.07.2007 15:44:39 Vista Firewall Control will ask you to approve outbound traffic. That is what it is all about. Just say "allow all", or allow always and you will not be bothered for that program again. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) "Juan I.

Dear friends: Help, Vista's firewall started to work with outbound traffic, and I don't know how to stop it!!!!! ==== What are you talking about? A firewall always works with outbound traffic. The programs running on the computer that communicate over the Internet to another program are always sending outbound traffic. I don't know why, but as a result of this, my computer has become very slow. How can I return to the standard firewall inbound traffic check only? ------- It sounds to me like you have malware running on the machine that's sending dubious outbound traffic, it's slowing the machine down, you need to find it and remove the malware.

I solved the problem uninstalling that program, *AND* restoring the system to the state immediately previous to its installation. The Firewall returned to its "inbound traffic only" status, like originally in Vista or XP.

Cahis <jiclbchSINBASURA[ at ]attglobal.net> 13.07.2007 01:04:00 Sorry Arnold, but you are wrong. WinXP firewall checks, by design, inbound traffic only, as also does Vista firewall in its default configuration, as set by Microsoft. "Mr. Arnold" <MR.

Re: Help, Vista's firewall started to work with outbound traffic, Mick Murphy 13.07.2007 09:56:00 Juan, you are wrong. Go to control Panel, security, Windoes Firewall> Allow a program to go out.
