    Default Firewalls Compatability etc.

    Good Day: I have a Router-Firewall. Used to have Zone Alarm which is a software firewall.. I understand that a router-Firewall only protects from incoming attacks. I also know that software firewalls sometimes cause problems.
    Question: Is it advisable to have a software firewall to cover outgoing attacks ?

    You should not have out going attacks keep your pc clean run spyware scans every few days, clean up temp folders.
