That's your opinion.
Do you know that on this box i've never run a firewall or a virus scanner? Occasionally i'll run a web based scanner to check suspicious files, etc. but i've never found need for a firewall/virus scanner. As long as you stay up to date and don't run questionable files you are fine. A firewall is not NEEDED as long as the OS is properly configured and working.

Will ZoneAlarm work on ROS? I know that it stays silent, ignoring "unwanted packs". I don't think it's open source, but it works well on windows.
Since the goal of ROS is to be binary compatible with Windows NT, I would say yes, but I also think ZoneAlarm is a horrible Firewall, there are many better Firewalls available. The best solution would be to create a new Firewall for ROS or change an existing one the way we want it, to include it in ROS.
Considering there is no decent open source firewall available for windows, and the fact that including one is a _must_, this is exactly what we will be doing.
