Firon Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 If you have a router, it's not needed. Only inbound port blocking works well anyway. If your system's already compromised, then a PFW can be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Some viruses, trojans, and spyware add themselves to common firewalls exclusion lists so their activity is NOT noticed by the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
