Its good you turn your cable modem off when you are not using it, but I
still think firewalls are valuable. And with a great firewall like
ZoneAlarm being free for personal use, why not have one just to be extra
safe?

Dear PCSoft,
I recently switched from dialup to cable modem. I have an anti-virus
(ETrust) and I turn off the cable modem when I am not connected.
My question is:
Do I really need a firewall? I have heard from various people differing
opinions.
I look forward to the feedback.
Thanks,
Ellis Heath
