Re: Is a router enough of a firewall?

I think most routers now do come with basic firewall protection such as Stateful Packet Inspection, in addition to the NAT that is considered good inbound protection by itself. But, without a software firewall, you have no outbound protection to help deal with spyware, worms, etc.
