First of all, thank you for all the input. I especially appreciate links to
online articles that I can read! Anyway, it seems like the windows firewall
is "sufficient" and that buying a third party firewall really wouldn't be
worth the money. Especially for a home user with up-to-date virus
protection and hardware firewall protection. Please correct me if I am
wrong!

Also, I was specifically interested in some info on McAfee's firewall for
the simple fact that I use virus scan 8 already.

Anyway, thanks again!
