firewalsl are really annoying. They block lots of non-malicious things, like update managers of various programs, games, and all that. I know you set up the ports and such but its rather annoying. Plus most hackers would never go after a single user, unless you frag them to much online then they might get pissed and trash your computer. Unless youre running some kind of server and posting your ip everywhere i see no point in them.
It`s not a personal vendetta thing with crackers (not hackers, get it right).

Ever hear of a port scanner? Software does the dirty work for them on a large scale.
