ICFMeister is designed specifically for monitoring the activities of the ICF - the Internet Connection Firewall that is built into Windows XP. The information ICFMeister delivers can help you detect hacking attempts and sort out problems with internet-capable programs on your computer. A single installation can harvest ICF log data throughout your network without the need for multiple licences. ICFMeister reads the logs generated by the ICF on your PC and on other XP computers in your network, and presents them to you in a consistent, easy to read format.

Floating satellite windows let you minimize ICFMeister to your system tray yet still see the |
