There is Free Software. And it is not only free as in free beer.

Beside that, maybe Comodo will be the first company, who will bring to
the Windows desktop, what people are really needing - they don't need
such popups for Adobe Reader doing his updates, they're needing easy
access to AN.ON and Tor, they're needing _easy_ OpenPGP compliant
encryption.

Beside that, they could need very easy predefined profiles for their
host based packet filter and service setup, for example for having a
notebook in the local net, and sharing files only locally there, and
having the notebook not at home, not sharing files at all. It is not
neccessary to deliver an own packet filter, the filtering software in
Windows' kernel is enough, but an easy _configuration_ tool would be
very valuable.

There I can see much room for improvement - instead of trying to find
out, how to really control "outbound traffic", which at last, even if
ever achieved, would not bring extra security at all.

Instead of, extra security could achieved by a system, which enforces
the user not to have administrative rights, but has an IDS, and if it
detects any malware, it suggests to revert to a system state saved
before, which was without malware after all what could be detected.

With this exception, the system should not bother the user at all, but
protect him, and start communication to her/him only, if really of value
for the user.
