Yes. I love joking but don't include those emoticon things.
ANY software that will not allow the OS to update and replace system
files ** IS a joke ** in my opinion. That is *specifically* how malware
operates.
A hardware firewall plus the native Windows firewall provides sufficient
protection and will not hamper the OS nor it's ability to be updated.
Case, closed. Next !
