ICFMeister is designed for monitoring the activities of the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) 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. 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. Where possible, ICFMeister provides additional information to help make sense of the log data. For example, hover the mouse over an IP address, and you see the corresponding network name in a tooltip. ICFMeister is based on the universal log reader, LogMeister, and has the same powerful monitoring and notification features. It will monitor your logs, watching out for firewall activity that interests you, and notify you of these events by issuing visual and audio alerts, sending emails, outputting separate logs and even running your own scripts.
