Hi group .
I just got myself a Vigor 2200 ADSL router .
Various people have mentioned that it has a hardware firewall . That may be true but surely it is unwise not to have some kind of security application running on the systems ?

The firewall can stop some things from getting IN, but tools like ZoneAlarm also monitor what your PC is sending OUT. Since ZoneAlarm can be configured to require that all Internet access requests from the PC must be approved at least once, you will know if you acquire some "undesirable" program - like things that want to send your addressbook to a site in Korea or Malyasia.. .
