I could say it is about you being in control of your computer (not the other way around) using trusted applications to serve their purpose .

Never before have I seen so many malicious attacks on computers, from virus wars to adware and spam . now security even for a dial up modem is becomeing commonplace, and so it should be, as these nasty people only want to spread their "bugs",read your information, at your expence! to boot .
I believe Steve Gibbons is offering thoroughly tested software . . . but it is up to us the users to determine what is best for the purpose we want .

I still believe spammers and people of that ilk should pay me ($$$) to send me spam, it would be so easy to set up, like having a "no junk mail" sign on your letter box at home . . but I digress . . . . . . .

So . . in saying that . . A fire wall should basically give you control if ALL the traffic (data) in and out of your computer .
