Do you really need a software firewall or av when you already have a hardware firewall or av ?

Seems pointless when you already have the hardware firewall.....

also my question is if i have say microtread av hardware av in my asus RT_88u ddo i need a software av ?????

should i only be running a mailware detection software only as i already have hardware versions built into my router........

i have always used software in combination with hardware but i think if i only need the hardware versions it would speed my system up a little on the hdd side

so stick to the hardware + sofware method then

thanks guys, guess i was right to keep the software + hardware method that i have been using all along, i just thought routers where catching up and soon software av or firewall wouldnt be needed anymore lol and could have been done all on the router side.
