With the introduction of each new version of Windows, new advancements are made in firewall too, in order to update it with the latest features possible. With the introduction of the Windows 7 operating system, Windows 7 Firewall has also been equipped with the most advanced features to provide you ultimate security against online threats.

Advanced security system
If you are working on a public network, then the Windows 7 Firewall will block access from and to other devices over the Internet. In addition to that, you will be able to receive and send e-mails and view webpages that you want to, without putting your security at risk. With the advanced security system of Windows 7 Firewall, you will be notified if some programs are blocked by the Firewall or if the allowed programs are ignored.
Windows 7 Firewall will send you a notification whenever it blocks a program to enter your system. This will remove a lot of confusion that got created in earlier versions of Windows 7 Firewall. Earlier, you used to install a program and it got disappeared without any notification.
