Zonealarm, not pro, I had it and it was too secure. It locked my whole PC down to protect itself LOL! Fucked my IE also, but I don't use it anymore :D

Zonealarm has problems. I stopped using that after it went into paranoid mode and locked everything done.
Sygate is pretty good. Plus you can backtrace whoever is scanning you and you can scan them.
Basically its a "Hey bitch, I know where you live."

I probably SHOULD. But I am behind two NAT routers (a DSL modem followed by a wireless router), and although I know that's not as effective as a true firewall, it still blocks most of the dangers of a completely open connection.
In any case, yes you should use one. As for the concerns about viruses... well user discretion blocks the vast, vast, vast majority of those.
A firewall is really more to keep people (aka malicious hackers and the like) out, not viruses so much.

Being connected without using a firewall is like having unprotected sex with every single person on the Internet. At once.
