I use a software firewall on all my devices, and a well config'ed hardware router / firewall / NAT all-in-one job...

Seems to cope with all things I chuck at it, but Common Sense is still needed.

:yes:

Nope. No Firewall, No Antivirus, & No Anti-Spyware.

:yes:

I used to use software firewall, but that was when around 9-10 people used the same PC in the same house :wacko: , Now that I have my own pc in my own room, don't think I need it... nor a hardware firewall...

Router integrated hardware firewall here.

I haven't had the best of experiences with software firewalls, they cause more problems than they solve. (Such as massive system resource usage).

Besides, when you're behind a NAT software firewalls only provide outbound protection, something I don't really need since I regularly watch all outgoing connections with TCPView and what processes are open.

...except if, of course, I got hit by a rootkit, but I can't see that happening. (Plus I don't buy Sony CDs anyway)
