Re: I have a router....firewall needed?
In the usual router + firewall scenario, the router provides a level of defence against external attacks that is better than "Windows firewall".

The software firewall's main task (and Windows firewall is USELESS for this) is then to marshall the connetctions you may or may not wish to be made - application permission
