Here is your first problem: You are using crappy "security" solutions
you don't even understand.

Here is your second problem: Why on earth are you even wasting your
time worrying about what a *trusted* file wants to do? You are letting
commodos stupid pop-ups confuse you!

2: Is the windows (vista) firewall indeed now also blocking as well incoming
as outgoing traffic.

This info i got from a dutch website and i donot know if
that info is corect.

It is. Luckily, it's not doing this silly outbound application control
the way so called 3rd party firewalls do, though.

Does this make if the info is correct the firewall trustable enough or do i
still need another one>?

What do you mean by "trustable enough"? - The windows firewall has
been trustable all the time. The idea that you need a third party
firewall is promoted by third party firewall vendors together with
clueless dudes who believe in host based outbound control and
similarly silly features and who distrust anything MS and therefore
are willing to add additional chunks of highly questionable code to
their system believing it will increase security. LOL.

Somehow i can hardly believe that windows creates a firewall and that that
then is not working good enough and that one then needs to use another one..?

Maybe it's because it simply isn't true.

Other question (sorry it is all about this specific firewall thing): Can the
firewall of windows work together with another one?

Yes.... in the way that installing another one will mostly turn the
windows one off. You shouldn't have more than one running at a time.

Thank you for your answers,

You're welcome. And before jumping on me for being rude and arrogant
sit down, take a deep breath and reconsider your approach towards
security.
