You could use also a software firewall and a prog like defensewall.

But It's more important to set up the router in the best way.

HI Savaronia; welcome to GSF.

a) Your router will provide good inbound protection. (Hardware firewalls only support outbound filtering on port basis, not
application.) A software firewall can control outbound programs and processes.

b) Get a Safer Browser: Firefox or Opera..(Firefox: add NoScript & AdblockPlus extensions).

c) Get a HIPS:
Banking, Shopping, and surfing some dangerous sites there ...pron sites - notorious for driveby downloads, malicious scripts, misleading or rogue software and advertising, infecting your machine.

Suggest you get a Host Intrusion Prevention application like DefenseWall HIPS and then the AV is a secondary layer for scanning, checking system.

DW protects your online activity and core system extremely well and is very user-friendly, and easy to learn...
