Personal Software Firewalls Mostly Useless
 
More and more security researchs come to the conclusion that personal firewalls are ineffective in controlling outbound traffic. An article in the Mail & Guardian online mentions a test that 'showed that the software often causes more problems than it solves.

Simple PoCs are available, too.
