With most anti-virus developers coming out with suite’s that feature several malware detection and prevention technologies all in one packages, the relevance of firewall software is undermined mainly due to the complexity of attacks that are on the internet. They used to work fine but in today’s brute force attacks, they are quite useless for malware now tries one tactic and then shifts to another if it is blocked at one front.
Malware has evolved as much as the technology that it attacks and a mere blocking of attacks on one front is futile. Many computers are even infected without the user knowing it leaving them with propagation points for other attacks.
