Firewall enabled, public profile

Checks if a Group Policy configures the computer to enable the public profile for Windows Firewall. The public profile applies to networks where the host system is connected to public networks such as Wi-Fi hotspots at coffee shops and airports. Some auditors requires that this setting is configured by a Group Policy.
