Windows Vista's Firewall offers false sense of security

After clicking on the link to allow a program through the firewall, we received this warning dialog. It's a good warning because, in the event that something else like malware started the program, the user would be warned of the attempted start before Windows Vista allows it. We clicked the "Continue" button.
