No firewall or router can protect you from packets you allow. You were
enticed, somehow, to click on something malicious, and no firewall can
protect from that. The only protection is to be more careful, and that's
not always easy as these guys are very clever (Click here to Feed the
Homeless!)
I have found home firewalls to be a source of far more irritation than
protection. While they have come a long way, they are still a source of
confusion and irritation to many, and not worth it for the average user.
If you haven't used Spybot's "Immunize" feature yet, I encourage you to
do so.
It also got by my routers firewall! I remember someone saying if you
have a router you do not need a firewall on your computer also. At this
point I might add another one then I'll have 3 of them ;-)
