Firewall Service API
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Windows can detect when an application attempts to use an obsolete application programming interface (API) to disable the firewall.
When appropriate auditing events are enabled (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=92666), Windows reports when applications attempt to use obsolete API calls.
