I wasn't aware they had one till you mentioned it but as everybody is making FW these days it doesn't come as a surprise :)

Cudni
Touché. ;)

Avira has had a firewall in the Suite for quite some time but it has been not very good. It's being improved considerably currently but it is not going to be great, as far as I can see, even in version 8 which due out in April. But it is a decent, rules based Firewall.

edited for clarity...I need to get some sleep. ;)

I'm still using Sygate Pro behind a router. By the way, any thing wrong with using unsupported firewall software like Sygate?Not to my way of thinking. I also use it.

XP still has the same ports it's always had. What's to 'support'?

It is still around-- as verified by several voters in this poll.
