Application filters are usually set up for specific programs and not the components they are made up of. Each program may use several modules and these individual modules can become infected. In Windows, they often take the form of DLLs ó dynamic link libraries ó but that's more info than you need.
There are two basic types of firewalls ó hardware and software, though the distinction can be misleading. Hardware rarely does much without extra software to guide it, and software can't even exist without hardware. It has to be stored somewhere and execute on something.
