I agree with Ibrahim here.
The Windows 7 Firewall is more than enough for a home user and even some
small businesses. If you have a multi-security product like Eset's Smart
Security by all means use their firewall. if I wern't using this I wouldn't
be going out and looking for a separate bit of kit whilst on Windows 7.
