There is indeed a software firewall in just about any version of Windows (and going way back, too!). You may find it in the Control Panel labeled, not surprisingly, as Windows Firewall.
There are also numerous anti-virus programs that include-or act like-a firewall.
If you are using a router-line or wireless-it, most likely, has a hardware firewall. You should know that running two or more firewalls, either software-based or hardware-based, is not recommended (they conflict with one another). In the same way, running more than one anti-virus program at a time will decrease your ability to fight viruses and create conflicts within the operation of both of them!

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).
