[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 356274, member: 7463"] I could not disagree more strongly with that statement. Assume that you run across a true zero day malware for which no AV definitions exist (and I would hope that you agree that no AV scanner is 100%). Assume further that the malware is a keylogger or downloader or worm. All of these to fulfill its malicious purpose needs to connect to the malware server. A Firewall with Outbound alerts will give you a chance to stop it; Windows firewall will not. Please trust me on this- no matter what Firewall you choose, just make sure it is aware of Outbound Traffic. [/QUOTE]
