XPFiremon is a system tray monitoring application for the builtin Windows XP Firewall. It will monitor the settings and services and alert if they are stopped or disabled. Windows should also alert you if the firewall is disabled but depending on the circumstances it appears slow to do so. It's also comforting to many users to see something saying that their protection is active and not just inactive. It also provides an easy right click interface for managing the firewall(stopping, starting, or configuring).
- Added the ability to have XPFiremon download and install updates on its own when the upgrade menu option is used

It does what it is suppose to do, and that is to monitor the windows xp firewall. It's not suppose to be a replasment for the xp firewall.
