A virus or Trojan Horse require you to run the infected code on your machine. A
firewall should not be running unknown programs so it is unlikly that you will
run into them. It IS possible to have a Trojan Horse on a firewall but the
solution to that is to only run programs that you get from the OS or Firewall
vender (If you can't trust them you need a LOT of time to check the code :-)
