Is the Windows Firewall sufficient or should I use ZoneAlarm or equiv?
Hello,
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 (courtesy of a new laptop) and I've experienced a Metropolitan Police virus, really awful.
I managed to track down the cause of the infection and have removed it, run various scans and my machine is clean. However, I'm seriously considering formatting the drive and starting afresh.
Over and above this, I'm considering possibly changing firewalls to something more industrial strength. For my purposes - home use primarily with no file-sharing applications - would the Windows Firewall be sufficient?
Thank you.
