It's bad enough that I tried to run a multiplayer game in Dungeon Siege, a game produced by Microsoft, and it blocked the server application.

That's just the Firewall, trying to keep you safe...

Unless you're running something other than the Windows firewall, in which case you've done it to yourself [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, it's Windows Firewall, blocking the Windows' server application...It's pretty bad when Windows thinks part of itself is a virus...

Technically, it thinks it's exhibiting suspicious behavior. Which is just as bad... ;)

There's nothing(absolutely nothing) a software Y of company X can do to assure that software Z of company X has not been tampered with in any way. And it gets worse. The software Z might not have even been tampered with, it might have just been started up by some other software, possibly malicious in nature, to be used as a tunnel.
Windows Firewall did nothing wrong.

Unlike some, I use Windows, I use IE7. I'm not anti-Windows, it just struck me as funny that Windows blocked the Windows Server app supplied with Dungeon Siege. I still think that's funny.
