Volker, you're famous: http://www.firewallleaktester.com/news.htm :)
As expected, there isn't a single software firewall that passes all of
these so-called 'leak tests'. The best of them seems to be Jetico,
which is pretty much what I expected also. Anyway, I posted this in
case anyone is interested in this sort of thing. Just shows, as some
here have said, that none of them can really ensure that nothing gets
out. To see the test results, hit the TESTS link on the left side of
the page and then View Results at bottom.

My leak tests:
- CreateProcessAsLogonW with SYSTEM account and kill the PFW.
- Try to delete all files,kill the process and uninstall the drivers,
reboot, try again. Usually 3 cycles are enough.
None passed at all.

Never tried this one - aren't the "Personal Firewall" setup programs
setting file ACLs in a sensible way?

These tests are usually run with Admin rights.

See above.
Anyway, the most common error with privilege escalation I've seen was
the SE_CHANGE_CONFIG thing.
