I would also like to say that you MUST be careful about files you are recieving. There are many advanced programmers out there who are making trojans do more than just steal passwords and allow a hacker to control your computer. I was infected by one of these once, and lost ability to use task manager, regedit, and almost every windows utility on my computer. I had to go out and find someone who had wrote their own private fix for it.

So I guess what im trying to say is that trojans do more than just allow people to access your computer, and that firewalls cannot completly stop them.
