I have a layered defence around here, I have the Linksys wireless which has a very basic firewall, followed by the Norton Internet Security 2004, and I have spent a few days tweaking that so my pain level isn't all that bad. I run anti-virus scans three times a week, and Spybot Search and Destroy once a week.

The one thing I do that has prevented me from getting one e-mail virus on any of my machines in the last four years, is SSH'ing to a remote server and reading my mail in Pine. I also take steps there to filter all the spam and virus mails with Procmail, and anything interesting enough to read in techincolour can be forwarded to my laptop.
