Re: Windows firewall: is it sufficient?

Windows firewall is all I use - you won't get alerts from it like you

Regarding Spyware, I assume you are talking about Windows AntiSpyware
or it's latest name Windows Defender. The difference you are seeing
may be because Spybot will pick up tracking cookies and Defender won't
- that is by design. Cookies are not a big issue.

The windows firewall has a disadvantage relative to others, in that a
browser exploit is more likely to disable it.
