Windows Firewall. It's currently disabled.

The reinstall windows firewall =D

So this was an epic fail...

If it's not a hardware firewall it's not really worth having... Barring that, turn your windows one on and feel like... a little safer?

routine virus scans are your friend.

Well, at school I'm not aloud to have a router in my dorm. (which is fucking ridiculous) so I tend to try to keep a firewall on my computer to make it a little safer.

Oh, okay.

p.s. Allowed.

In the spirit of grammar nazi-ism:
Maybe if you were aloud about your lack of router, then somebody would listen to your pleas?

It doesn't really keep it safer. Not in any real way. You'll still get infections, and you'll still have to run your anti-whatevers to get rid of it. The best way to stay safe is to just do bi-weekly (daily preferred, but who has time for that shit?) system scans. You might find a few fewer infections if you have a third party firewall up, or not. It's kind of irrelevant. Window's firewall is nice as a way of blocking some of the stuff, if you insist on having one.

dude, you take steroids... cyber punch them fuckers if they try to get in. no need for a firewall.

btw, I haven't ever used a firewall. As they said, a hardware firewall is best.

That has got to be one of the funniest things I've read on the internet.

don't enter porn sites or click on ads that tell you you're the 9834792nd visitor and you will never need a firewall

I turn my windows one on for serials.ws (terribly NSFW) and it keeps me from having to hear adaware fart 100 times because I wanted to steal red alert 2...
