All software firewall solutions suck. Period.

No, really, they're bloated, don't work as intented and slow down your computer and/or internet connection. If you're behind a router, don't use one!

The one software firewall that really extends the functionality and security of a good hardware firewall is yet to be developed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just disable the security center service alltogether like all sane people do. ;-)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In fact, the security center has nothing to do with either automatic updates or the integrated firewall. It just acts like a frontend to access these features and reminds you of their presence (by annoying the hell out of you).

You will still receive automatic updates and be able to use the firewall even with the security center service disabled.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
