I've understood then from you that I don't need to bother switching the firewall on a a personal laptop user. That make's things easier!
I thought it would have added an extra layer of protection against any potential attacks by malware or viruses as in MS Windows?

Also remember that most routers these days have a firewall built in, based off linux. Software and hardware firewalls are generally only needed in servers and datacenters.

Hi m654321,
The firewall is built into the kernel, please see this topic.

I've been hit by malware (partner18mydomainadvisor), which has prompted me to check if the firewall is switched on, but after a search on LL2 I was unable to find it. Where is it and how can I switch it on and it will stay on upon reboot.
Many thanks for any help.
Regards
Mike
