[ros-general] Re: TDI-Based Open Source Personal Firewall

[Richard Campbell]

That's your opinion.

Do you know that on this box i've never run a firewall or a virus 
scanner?  Occasionally i'll run a web based scanner to check suspicious 
files, etc. but i've never found need for a firewall/virus scanner.  As 
long as you stay up to date and don't run questionable files you are 
fine.  A firewall is not NEEDED as long as the OS is properly configured 
and working.
