    I use the native Windows 7 firewall and a pretty aggressive D-Link Xtreme N Gaming Router as my protection. Oh, and WinPatrol, M$SE, and, uh, common sense.

    Well, to add to that: I use FireTrust's SiteHound (b/c I am a beta tester for SH), Finjan Secure Browsing and WOT in all browsers that support them, as well as NoScript and CookieSafe in Fx.

    Win 7 native firwall


    I use MSE with a router and Win 7 native firewall -I supplement with MBAM.
    If I am reading this correctly it is suggeted that the new Win 7 native firewall does not monitor outbound traffic.
    Mine does so am I missing something.
