Has anyone noticed that when you add or update an existing Windows 8 app an exception is added to Windows Firewall to allow that app an exception through the firewall? Whenever I add or update an app I have to go into Windows Firewall to disable the exception. I all cases, the apps still work after I do this.

Thoughts?

This is because the default behavior for Windows Firewall allows all outgoing traffic.
