You really have an attitude problem. I've been using Kerio PFs for years

Except being vulnerable to certain remote DoS conditions, breaking some
network functionality and RFC-conformirty, and opening a privilege
escalation path.
Hint: I've been running Win2K without any PFWs and never had any
problems (well, except due to dying hardware). Why exactly should I
increase the system's complexity (reducing its security) for achieving
nothing except more errors and vulnerabilities?
More errors and vulnerabilities? Get it through your thick head that what
I said was that I've experienced no infections at all.

If you had vulnerabilities, this did not enforce infections, but made
them possible.

If you had infections, this did not enforce you to notice that, but made
it possible.

At least one of the above did not happen.
