   No.  Microsoft has provided an outbound firewall in various forms for =
years.  Windows Live OneCare and Windows Vista both provide a consumer =
level one.  Windows Vista provides enterprise level features as well in =
the same firewall.  Still, except for anal folks like some of those = here,
most people don't really use these at least not how described = here.

   We discussed the OneCare outbound filtering in detail earlier.  You =
can go back and look it up.  I'm sure you put it out of your mind = because
you prefer to believe what you want to.

   I wouldn't trust any outbound filtering for malware on an infected =
machine.  The infected machine enforces what to allow or not and since =
the machine is infected you can't trust it.  I could trust one to =
implement policy for non-malicious applications.

   Your repeated phone home noise is as boring as it is bogus.  Find =
something interesting and relevant to say instead.
