No, he's asking about little snitches ability to detect when a new program is attempting to send out traffic and then giving the user the ability to allow once, allow always, deny once or deny always. Most Firewalls don't notify you and allow interaction like this. Yes, ultimately what little snitch does to to make an entry in the firewall settings, but the monitoring of all traffic and the user interaction all take place before any chages are made to the firewall.
So, the question still remains, is there an equivalent program on the Window's side?
No, like Project2501 said, Zone Alarm does exactly that. When any program attempts to access the internet it pops up and asks you if you want to allow it.
ummm... my university uses this really intrusive M$ spyware thingee that pops up basically every time you touch the keyboard to tell you that your computer is doing something.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it will ask way too many things, like 'firefox is trying to use firefox to connect to the internet' and other annoying things.
My son's Windows (XP) PC has just joined our home network.
The rest of us (Mac users) are using little snitch: is there a Windows app any one knows of that does the same thing as well as this?
Thanks.
it is called Avast 4.8 it is free and it does the same as little snitch. u can download it and it doesn't take up much room, or trend micro and that is free tobut it is better but takes more room.
