Nope. Not at all. And BTW - if I'm developing PHP programs, don't you
think I might WANT the PHP file to come up in my editor when I click on
it? Your piece of trash just gets in the way.

No, it is a software firewall. But also a very good one. And yes, I
have it when I travel and work on a WiFi hotspot.

And BTW - there is no such thing as a "hardware firewall". They're all
software based - just some are in ROM and some are in RAM.

Don't worry. They can't. And no, it's not less secure.

That's still OK. It can still have vulnerabilities. And when I connect
to my WAMP server, I keep the browser down tight also.

Yea, you're no better than any spammer out there today, and worse than
most. I agree. It is an abuse to call you a spammer - that's insulting
to other spammers.
