Bah. No software firewall needed. All it does is take up more space in memory. I like my Linksys Router. Not a 100% full-proof, but like some uber hacker is after joe schmo. Come on...the hackers that know anything are going after big businesses and governments. They may send out bot programs to use us as zombie machines but that is the extent of it.
And a router is going to keep out most script kiddies since they don't know jack to begin with.
You got my ip feel free to try and compromise me. You'll get a cookie. Not like I keep anything important on here anyways, except maybe my vast collection of pr0n.
If you want that added sense of security run a software firewall. But any hacker that is good enough to get past a hardware firewall will get past a software one too. Just food for thought.
Also ICS is turned off by default, so usually only people who know what they are doing are going to know about that setting and if they know about that then they know about this article most likely.  |

Murrells Inlet, SC | Why doesn't M$ hire the best hackers to hack their OS before they have to release all these SP's?
