Do I need a firewall to run with avast! separately ?

Do I need a firewall to run with avast! separately ?If yes which one is a good choice and not resources hungry ?

Avast! has no own firewall (not yet) so you should/can use an other software firewall...

i personally can recommend Comodo Firewall Pro: http://www.comodo.com
i think its not very difficult to use and i think it doesn't need much resources...
but unfortunately its not in German  :'( (I'm from Austria)

if you have got a hardware firewall (in your router or so...) a software firewall is not really necessary (people say) - i although use Comodo...
