Yes ,you still need a software firewall like Zone Alarm or any other firewall
because the router is only incoming hardware protection.

It is addition for better protections but the router can't protect you as
good as the software firewalls.

For example ,using Zone Alarm you can control any program and decide if you
want it to connect to internet.This can't be done with the hardware.

Via software firewall,you have full control.

Need? Probably not if you are smart about surfing. Wise to have one. I would
look
for an older version of the free version of Sygate.
