[Full-Disclosure] Re: January 15 is Personal Firewall Day,help the cause

Since the ping-pong game is far past 21 points...

How safe would you consider:

A WinXP box with all current patches
A properly configured HW firewall
ICF enabled, web services ONLY enabled and all ICMP requests disabled
Apache (latest) installed with no add'l modules (static pages only)
NOT running Outlook or OE
Mozilla with Java and JS disabled in email
An "admin" who knows not to run attachments
No add'l (hated) SW firewalls
No AV stuff running, except when scanning known executables

I am of course, asking for a "friend".
