I have just bought McAfee virus protection version 7. In the UK this comes
including the McAfee firewall. Is there any advantage to running the McAfee
firewall instead of, or as well as, the XP home one? or should I just stick
to what comes with XP home.
 
The XP firewall is generally the simplest and most trouble-free option. It
is all I feel the need to run on my machines, course I am an employee so you
can read what you want into that.

Other firewalls like McAfee do add additional features like outbound
filtering and additional configurability so if you are interested in those
features you may want to give it a try.
