In the home computing environment (post windows 7), do software based inbound firewalls in many security suites or standalone give a false sense of security nowadays?
I've been at fault for this and assume other Windows based third party firewalls are somehow better than Windows built in firewall. To be honest though, is there much substance to back this up?
I know you could argue outbound effectiveness and ease of use, but in general...is it really necessary?
Thanks for your time!
