OK, so if you have a software firewall, I thought one of the advantages of
having a software firewall was to keep virii and trojans from your side of
the router/hardware firewall from getting on your machine.  But in order to
have access, in a peer to peer situation at least to the other computers
and their files you have to basically allow all TCP/UDP access on basically
all ports from 0 to 1100 give or take a few.  If you don't you can't log
connect to network drives and other network resources on other machines. 
So how is the software firewall protecting you from trojans and virii on
other computers on your side of the router/hardware firewall???

Confused?
