Story: Windows XP SP2 more secure? Not so fast

Two firewalls are better than one? That's a strange statement, offered with no supporting explanation. One firewall the internet and your network, and another on each PC, has advantages, including defending against threats originating inside your network. But two on one PC would just seem to add complexity of configuration and understanding. One firewall on a PC is all you should activate. Microsoft's updated firewall is good, but if you are concerned about policing outgoing data, turn it off and use a third party product. There is no sense in using both on the same PC.
