Oh, I see. If I had recommended Outpost then the results for Outpost are somehow obvious in showing Outpost is defective software. Since a large number of personal software firewalls are listed, they must all be defective, uh huh.
Correct.

Did you miss the part that they are *software* firewalls which means they are also running on the SAME host as the malware?
See? That's why they're defective.

Padlocks don't stop determined burglars, either, yet I bet you still lock your house and car doors when you leave them.

Many mistakes in the argument:


- Padlocks aren't supposed to protect your house or car, but to fulfill the requirements from your assurance.
- In the analogue world, there is always a "use more force". In the digital world, all states are enumerable and can be addressed, thus security measures can be complete. However, all incomplete measures can be trivially circumvented.

At any rate, such functionality does not belong to a packet filter. And a packet filter isn't supposed to to protect against malware on the host.
