If you get infected it will alert you to outbound connections that are
going on without your knowledge. Some firewalls like Zone Alarm have
other functions like attachment filtering.

NEVER download files from anywhere unless it is from the website of the
developer,manufacturer or some entity you trust. The developers
websites ALWAYS have the most up to date files that haven't been
tampered with by some third party who is "hosting"(read Leeching or
Stealing) those files without permission.
