You have A LOT of similar situations in real world, and in any case, a
personal firewall is useful, not harmful.
I never was told of one, with one exception: here in this group, a
person liked Sygate not as "Personal Firewall" but as network analysis
tool because of the logging functionality.
I hope I'll not have to explain more ...
You could give one single example of a useful feature which is security
related. You would be the very first person who manages to do so.
