Bugtraq: Re: ... Tiny Personal Firewall ...

[Scott Nursten <scottn () s2s ltd uk>]

Not being au fiat with Windows programming etc., I was wondering if this was
standard practice? Surely if the workstation is locked it's supposed to stop
all I/O? 

Isn't this also an OS related bug? No flames please, it's just a question.
:)
