1. Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. Click on Network and Internet Connections in the Control Panel.
3. Click on the Network Connections icon.
4. Right-click the Internet connection you want to protect and choose Properties.
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Click in the little box in the Internet Connection Firewall section.


If you're on dial-up click the icon in the "Dial-Up" section. If you're on DSL or Cable, click the icon in the "Local Area Connection" section.

Frankly I would recommend Zone Alarm, it's free and much more powerful.
