What information do you consider? Is a kernel proxying "software" firewall the same as an application level "software" firewall? Is a packet filtering "hardware" firewall the same as a stateful inspection "hardware" firewall? Is a stateful inspection software "firewall" the same as a stateful inspection "hardware" firewall?
Does it really freaking matter? I'm trying to get SOMETHING put on their computer to reduce the number of bots, zombies, worms, etc. I could care less, they could care less.
