I only have the firewall on my router protecting me lol.

I would say that the firewalls/security software that Tawm recommended are a good bet :)

A hardware firewall and the build in firewall in Windows is what most people have and is generally perfectly fine.

A router will have a built in firewall which will do the job, pretty much exactly what you need as it's not like you will have to best security team hackers trying to get at you, even if you did they probably wouldn't do it that way anyway: rolleyes: the router and the windows firewall is fine.

Haha, at first I thought you were saying, I use my common sense! Anyway, never heard of that.

Same.
+ Router Firewall


Norton. I don't know why every one dis's norton, it does a great job :)

Get another anti virus software and do a scan, see how many more it picks up than norton. Norton also got caught making viruses and things that only Norton picks up and aren't really viruses - just to make it look better. When I used it at one point, it told me symantec was a virus... which was what created Norton.
