Windows XP SP2 firewall is perfectly adequate![]()
I think the question was about software (application aware ) firewalls , rather than a NAT router and Antivirus software.Originally Posted by ajbrun
If you were to get any outbound attack on your system , your Router would most likely do SFA to prevent your machine being just another Zombie attack bot.
An application level firewall would be another layer to actually keep a list of what applications are allowed external traffic , something which the level of kit you have is unlikely to do.
so Yes , the XP firewall has its place in a budget secure system , though personally I would go for the extra features of somethign like Agnitum Outpost ( free edition ).
Depending on what you feel you have to protect , you can run as many or as little layers of web security as you want.

If its a free one then Sygate personal firewall does the job for me.
