I Think so...

I had tried That firewall with Spybot, It kept blocking ALL incoming connections. It could have been the firewall, or Spybot. I don't really think that firewalls are necessary if you are behind a router with windows firewall, and you scan regularly, otherwise, if you are scared about outgoing connections, just nmap your ip to see what ports are open.
