I have a SW Firewall on my main computer. Ad-Aware and Spybot gets run regularly (1~2 weeks). Anti-virus ~1 a month now. I use FF DeerPark 2. My little network goes through a Siemens Router - the WLAN is turned off (I don't use it, Wireless is really too easy to crack. I have worked in the WLAN area now for over 6 years. And being on the insides has shown me that Wireless is not safe. It can be cracked relatively easy, when one knows what one is doing, and has access to certain tools. Everyone seens to think that WEP and WPA protects you, but it doesn't. It just makes it harder for the "Crack kiddies" to get in. A determined profi gets in without any real problems). With these in place, I have not had a virus in over 3 years (knocks on wood) or Spyware.
