    And will it detect keyloggers and prevent them connecting out??

    Thanks again for your time!

    I was looking for a similar thing some years ago and found a firewall called a-Wall / x-Wall. If you're running XP, I'd recommend this. As far as I could tell, all it did was handle outbound connections.

    If you are just looking for outbound notification and TF doesn't fit the bill for you couldn't you just run the Vista inbuilt firewall w/ outbound protection enabled? Maybe also try something like Vista Firewall Control?

    While i was satisfied with Threatfire's ability to monitor outbound connections, the lack of a "block" option prompted me to leave it as a BB only (set at 3) and just use the vista firewall with the windows 7 firewall control free version.
