The Windows firewall software is enhanced to restrict network connections in both directions-incoming and outgoing. Each type of network location profile in Windows 7 can have its own customized Windows firewall settings. Older versions of Windows firewall would restrict connections that started from outside the computer. The new firewall also allows the administrator to restrict connections that start from the computer itself. Connections can be defined as permitted or restricted when traffic is inspected by the Windows firewall. Windows Firewall settings can be configured as part of an administrative policy and applied throughout an organization.
