Do some people actually believe using Firewalls (hard or soft) gives them virus protection?

Seems so... So naive...



Woah, wait a minute! Hehe, I guess I should have said
that over the past 3 years, I've had no serious
viruses. Just some data-miners and the like. A firewall is
a poor substitute for antivirus, I agree. But if you're
careful when surfing you'll get very few in the first place.
That's what I was trying to say.

Every now and then I visit one of those online virus and
spyware scanners. Especially before using my creditcard
online! They catch a bunch here and there.
