In my opinion it is a bad idea to be without a software firewall on your
computer.
The possibilities of a successful exploit and the cost of recovery are
too great.
Fly without that net if you want... but don't complain if "you hit the
ground hard..."

Don't you have a router which provides you with a firewall? Hardware
firewalls are safer and more efficient. You only need a software firewall if
you are on a local network that has untrusted computers on it (e.g.
teenagers with PCs sharing your network with you).
