A probably configured firewall will protect a machine against
everything but
it's user, and therein lies a problem you will likely never solve.

The real problem is that we have an environment where the malware
can figure
out how to disable the firewall but the user can't.


Hopefully, one day software will be good enough the user won't have to be
smart.
And even clever malware will need some good luck to do its job.
