I'm behind a router, so between that and the Windows Firewall (along with Kaspersky Anti Virus, SpywareBlaster, and occasional scans with MalwareBytes and Super AntiSpyware) and "smart computing" I've never felt the need for a 3rd party firewall.

Hmmm. I am behind a router also. Do routers standardly come with a firewall?

If you have a NAT router, see this: http://www.grc.com/nat/nat.htm

Scroll down a little to read about how NAT security works.
