"Personal Firewalls" aren't "not 100% perfect". They're completely useless
because of being superseeded by the Windows-Firewall, but many of them are
dangerous because of their security breaches, especially Symantec Norton,
Outpost and Sygate. And they're very dangerous, because their "security"
relies on user's decisions, which is a b0rken concept and a security
breach itself, as with Zone Alarm, for example.
