Weak? Perhaps.
But damn valid.
Look, I am not a computer security 'expert'. Nobody pays me to test this
stuff. I am just someone that has used computers for the last 30 years
and try to keep up with the prevailing info, and according to all the
people that _do_ get paid to write about this stuff, a personal firewall
(other than WindowsXP fw) is a good idea.
