Gah.
You're right. I sit corrected.
I personally never use the XP Firewall, but the last workstation that I was
working on had Nav 2005 Internet Security on. I completly forgot about it
being installed, and was suprised that it was asking about outbound
programs.
My apologies. I hate other people spreading misinformation, and I've just
done it myself.
I'll go sit in the corner now.
