Microsoft's Firewall is only half a Firewall.   It only protects you from incoming traffic but does nothing
to guard your outgoing information.
I personally prefer to keep my sensitive information on my computer and not share it others. ;D

If you're a pro Windows XP Firewall does the job just fine.

If people want a infected system or not is their choice, but they do need to take the responsibility towards others to prevent infections spreading further. So using the XP firewall shouldn't be an option to anyone.

Nope, it only protects inbound.
