The firewall that I have tried starts as a service. I don't know if there is a way to
change when it starts but tend to doubt it since may services are dependant on each
other and need to start first. I think your risk is very small, but if it bothers you
I would get a perimeter firewall device also if you are using cable/dsl which would
be a good idea anyhow since I here there are worms/trojans that are able to disable
software firewalls. Even the $19 after rebate models at best Buy will give that
extra layer of protection. --- Steve
