I have a Netgear 8 port RO318 Cable/DSL Security Router and a4 port FR314 Cable/DSL Firewall Router . We have these because my dad likes to keep everything out. He has it cranked way down, so that I can't listen to Winamp streams or access most ftps or use irc. D: Really sux. But he needs his security.

I also have Norton Internet Security as a software firewall.
Had Zone alarm and liked it, but Norton is better and came with something for free, I THINK the FR314.... (Firewall/antivirus bundle)

Anyway, basic computer connected to the internet reminders.
Have an antivirus program.
If you have broadband, at least some form of software firewall. Or if you have dialup and are on for long periods of time.

A hardware firewall if you have sensitive information, such as tax records.
