I agree as well. Allow out only what is necassary. It is inevidtable that some type of spyware or virus will infect the average user. It also prevents thos P2P programs like Kazaa and Limewire from getting out and downloading illegal music, software, movies, etc.
Outside of MS Defender and Spybot are there any enterprise level, auto updating spyware protection programs to recommend? I currently use Trend Micro's CSM suite for desktop, server, email, virus and spam protection. It works sufficiently.
I am very interested in the outbound security feature of the new Vista FW.
Thanks for all the info / advice.
