But they do. Some viruses are capable of disabling software firewalls.

They've got to get in and run first.

It's unlikely they could disable a hardware firewall.

Hardware firewalls stop incoming, they don't stop outgoing packets from
unathorised programs - because they don't know which program the packet
came from..
