How to check if the firewall is enabled in Windows in C

Question

I would like to check if the firewall is enabled in Windows through C code, I found some methods in C# but only a little bit information from C, How I could do that?, thanks

Answer 1

use INetFwProfile interface . MSDN example of [c++] is available here.

Answer 2

You could use the Windows Firewall API. For Windows XP you read the InetFwProfile::FirewallEnabled property. On Vista or later you could use the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security API.
