Also, my ISP (Home.com) uses a proxy/firewall on their network,
according to their techs, and therefore a personal firewall
isn't necessary. Anyone believe this statement?

Hi Steve,
In the past 12 hours my @home connection has received 21 attacks. Of these
21, 5 were Trojan attacks, 5 were click attacks, 6 were authorized scans by
@home and 5 were spyware trying to get out from my computer. Two of the
above attacks came from computers on the same @home network I am on. The
rest were from outside the @home network.
Any tech who tells you that you don't need a firewall isn't a tech.
