I am generally confident that if someone is seriouse about getting the data
from my computer then it would have already have been gone.

I am guessing the firewall in xp is there, just like we have locks on our
doors, to keep out the honest people, part-time crooks.

Of course, I do switch the xp firewall on but does anyone here know how good
it is?

How do you measure how good a firewall is anyway? Shouldnt you just measure
how unlucky the user is? :-)
