All client side firewalls can be disabled by the client OS.  I would
look at a different solution, really.  (think how trivial it is for many
worms to disable antivirus processes)

Does anyone know of a "light-weight" client side firewall for Win32
boxes... I'm looking to deploy a client firewall in a production
environment... boxes will have a large number of current sessions, the
firewall would be need to support stateful inspection, and would be
centrally managed, via console and or policy based.
