Tokenz: 269 | Re: Do you use Windows Firewall? Hardware firewall. A software firewall allows the packet to get to your computer first, whereas a hardware firewall stops the packet before your computer gets it, if the packet is not requested; these types of packets are usually the "incoming" packets, instead of the "outgoing" packets.

Tokenz: 3,603 | Re: Do you use Windows Firewall? Sygate Personal Firewall. It's been pretty good to me over the years. XP firewall won't stop your computer from sending out information, it only monitors incoming traffic. Allan
