Originally posted by JeronimoCertainly the Windows Firewall is not as secure as a "proper" firewall program, or even a hardware solution. However, it provides a decent level of security for the masses, and many viruses would propagate much more slowly if everyone (without another firewall) were to enable it. That's why its enabled by default when you install SP2

Good point. Only thing though, any computer illerate person, with any firewall will just click "yes" because they just want stuff to work. So having a firewall is basically useless for them.

I think if you're smart enough to choose to have a firewall, you should choose to have a good one. You have a choice between 0% cover, 50% cover, and 100% cover. What would you choose?

A computer illiterate just clicking "yes" to all the popups bascially has 0% cover.
