Re: Virgin media hub and firewall
I don't know if it has an SPI firewall but it will use NAT as all routers do and that offers some protection from inbound threats. There is no need to disable the Windows firewall - it still offers the protection of (hopefully) stopping malware from making an outgoing connection.
