There is a free version also pro version people who pay. So this is for everybody not just people who pay. You need firewall even looking on forums people steel your data no matter wat forum your on. Information stolen easy with out firewall on your pc.

That is complete FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). All a host level personal firewall essentially does is stop connections being made to any listening services on your PC. Looking at forums is perfectly safe, no one can steal your data unless they intercept the data you send and retrieve (unlikely on a home network) or gain access to the forums database. In which case has nothing to do with you, its up to the administrator to keep up to date with the patches and other factors beyond your control.
Of course you are just trying to give friendly advice which is appreciated but just understand that security is a process and not a product. Dont be scared of using forums!
