Somewhat, but a firewall is NOT a reliable source of security. It seems that firewalls are fairly easy to get around, so if you're being harassed by a hacker, find a program that will find and kick them off instead of simply blocking them.
Simply put, firewalls are cheap and just won't do the job against a seasoned hacker.
