By adding a new key to the registry in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/Services/SharedAccess/Parameters/FirewallPolicy/StandardProfile/AuthorizedApplications/List 
you can circumvent the whole purpose of the firewall with out the users interaction or knowledge.  Spyware / Adware 
manufacturer's are already do this.
