My (and everyone elses) contract with AOL includes, as is fairly well known, the involuntary suppression of the Windows XP firewall (ICF).

It neither worries me, nor do I want it (got a better one). However, I am very curious to know the reason WHY? .....there must be a reason, .....presumably. Not much help from a web search, or AOL; not convinced the HelpLine knew what I was talking about.

Can anyone enlighten me, or provide a link to the subject? as I say, just curiosity. .....Ta.
