A: Oh yes.. Online gamers tend to use the internet a lot, which puts them in the dangerzone when it comes to viruses and trojans.

We'll keep you safe. ;-)
Q: Do gamers need a firewall?
A: Yes, defintely. Competitive games are usually highly ping dependant (examples: Counter-Strike, Warcraft III, Quake), and a firewall works in two ways - it makes sure no unwanted traffic get access to your computer, and it also makes sure no unwanted programs takes up precious bandwidth while you play.
