Do I really need a software firewall also for Windows XP if I have a Linksys SPI firewall protecting my secured home network?

My personal opinion about firewalls is that you can't have enough of them just as long as they run smoothly. I don't trust much that comes from Windows and the reason I say this is that if Windows Products are that good why do I have a new computer with Windows XP Pro on it and more than 140 updates in less than a month? Avast. com offers a free anti virus and firewall with it. Windows Live One Care won't run with Avast, but and since I have both, I'll take Avast anyday to anything that comes from windows and hopefully you can answer this question. Why do you only have SP 1 The service packs go as high as 5 or 6. Why bother with SP 1?

Will your Router Firewall conflict with Windows Firewall?
It is perfectly acceptable to run both at the same time. I do at home, and have never had a problem myself. -- There is no problem in using both, but Windows Firewall is superflous when you have got a Router with an integrated Firewall. They both do the same thing - block malicious INCOMING requests. The problem is that any OUTGOING traffic is considered safe and that is a security issue you might want to address by installing a third party software firewall and disabling Windows Firewall (running two software firewalls on the same machine could cause conflicts).
