Extra security ontop of built-in modem Firewalls.

G'day. Recently i bought a Netcomm NB5580W ADSL intergrated gateway modem. It comes with a built-in Firewall. However I was wondering whether this is the only firewall I should use or whether I need extra security such as using Zonealarm aswell. Do I need another Firewall?

I would use a software firewall aswell as it means you have control over the programs that are trying to access the net.

I use ZA.

I agree, you need a software firewall. See this article for the differences.
