FlameSee thats wht i said to my techy teacher but he just laughed

I got a the full version of their firewall with AOL for free and i used their firewall and it blocked nothing, i had laods of trojans within a week when i did a scan, and yes befre you all ask it was set up right.. I just use WINDOWS firewall now with my router and i got nothing so far, yey!Yeah. When I first had McAfee Firewall on my OLD computer, I got tired of it not doing anything so I removed it, and afetr that I couldn't get on the internet, and nobody could fix it, so I had to reformat lol

FlameThat's one big oops! I wonder if and when the writs will start flying.

Chris, what benefits do you think you're getting by running the XP firewall with a hardware firewall?Something called extra SECURITY

They dont CONFLICT with eachother so why not?The Windows firewall does nothing that your hardware firewall doesn't already do so in effect, there is no extra security.
I would advise using Kerio, Sygate or another well thought of application and DUMPING the Windows ICS/Firewall service. Search these forums for best version info regarding the two I've named.
