Olmsted Falls, OH |  Win 7 FW
What do folks think about the integreted firewall of Windows 7? Would Win 7 FW be a preference over running a third party app for inbound and outbound protection? |

I've not run a 3rd party firewall since XP days. Don't see any reason to do so either.

I'm using the built in firewall, it HAS improved in Windows 7 than what was used in Windows XP. At least I think so. Haven't had any problems yet. (Knock on My Head WOOD!)

Brooklyn, NY | As long as you have a hardware firewall then you don't even need a third party firewall. I use the firewall that comes with my Linksys never been hacked. |
