It's not a firewall, nor is there one in the program.

IIRC, the IMON module is the one that scans everything that goes through your web browser.

this is what Eset has to say about IMON and you can get more info here

It is not a firewall and will not block an intrusion attempt on your system

IMON is a multi-purpose scanner working on Winsock level. It takes advantage of the unprecedent advanced heuristics and serves for:

1. scanning email received through the POP3 protocol

IMON works fully automatically with any POP3-based mail client without needing to configure anything (in very rare cases, you may need to add another POP3 port which can be done in IMON setup). Possible infiltrations are detected before infected email is stored in your mail client's mailbox and IMON offers you an action to take (this is the default setting, but IMON can be set up to take the desired action automatically). By default, IMON modifies the subject of infected email by putting information about the virus before the original subject. This feature can later be used in your mail client filter (e.g. you can define a rule to delete all email previously containing a virus .

2. scanning the HTTP traffic

3. blocking exploits made by some worms (e.g. Lovsan, Nachi, Red Code and many others without needing to have the appropriate patch installed)

This feature called is always enabled, however, you can control whether to log exploit attempts to the virus log or not
