i don't use software based firewalls (execpt the one that XP has). hardware based it better, like a router. it changes the IP Address of the Pc (default 192.168.x.x) so that it can't been seen from the outside world. Software can be hacked, it is MUCH HARDER to hack a router.
Watch for "free" pop-up blockers, Ad-Ware removes, ect. They are "free" for a reason. Adaware is good tho. As far as anti-virus, i use Norton. You don;t need to go nuts with their suite deal. the privacy crap and other things they include just cuase more problems and kill your pc's performance. All you need is a good anti-virus and a spy-ware remover (which most anti-virus's detect/remove spyware now anyways), as well as common sense when using your Pc
I have been working with Pc's for yrs, and i have seen/tried it all. don't get sucked into the "security hype" that is goin around
