It is similar to Windows firewall, only inbound protection, no outbound. Basically a "mini-NIS" {same firewall rules borrowed from NIS} but only the inbound protection. :) Edit: I think it borrowed the intrusion detection system {IDS} from NIS also, so it does also have that component which, say, Windows firewall does not have. ;)

No,
You need to get a real Firewall with Inbound/Outbound protection.

You can add Windows Worms Doors Cleaner (WWDC), to close the ports. Its adds another layer of protections just in case your firewall was misconfigured or disabled. Its a free hardening software. 8)

Why not just use a dedicated inbound only with SPI like the Windows Firewall. It will protect you more than Norton's worm guard in the antivirus
