I work on a lot of computers around town. it's a small town and not many computer literates... Often I will install adware protection because often adware is what broke the computer. However I will say the majority of users on Windows XP SP2 have the Windows Firewall enabled. Out of factory it is enabled, and if not windows warns if not nags constantly that it is off. New Installs ask you to enable it before even letting you log in to Windows. The "average User" as you put it, would have a harder time turning off the firewall or disabling the nags. Now on a side note, it's not the greatest firewall but it does enough to block incoming.
