fine - have fun surfing porn sites w/o a firewall, then when your PC starts running slow, you'll know why.
Firewall = protection from spyware/adware/hackers (to a degree, but not much anymore). I know people think I'm paranoid, which I'll even say I am to a degree but of youre on a highspeed connection you're really needing a firewall to lock your shit down. You can use a software option, but a simple NAT router should work fine (I use both, but I'm paranoid, remember?)
